Olinda, the sister city of Recife is an old colonial town with narrow passages and over 20 churches. Recife is the ugly sister with awful high rising buildings and one of the highest crime rates in Brazil. I checked into a hostel with swimming pool and a nice garden. A brazilian Turist, who is a medic was sort of part of the hostel because he allways there. He was drinking from dawn till late after dusk and smoking weed and crack. Sometimes he was funny, most of the time he was on his planet. In my dorm was a girl, which works for the UN and a brazilian who works for a canadian circus. We had a lot of fun hanging out in the garden in the hammocks. During the day we drank at the pool, after doing some alibi sightseeing. And in the night we went out without pulling trees out of the soil.
But Olinda is truly a nice city with a lot of caracter, which I strongly recommend.
