Natal is a relaxed city occupying a long sandy peninsula surrounded by impressive sand dunes.
We stayed just off Praia Ponta Negra, the nicest of Natal's city beaches, which basks in the shadow of towering Morro de Careca - a steep, monstrous dune that drops into the sea
.
We had a very chilled-out couple of days here, and after a lot of effort located the deserted FIFA FanFest to see France beat Nigeria. We watched a couple of other last 16 games from the hammocks of our hostel.
Onward journey to Sao Luis.
