Salvador Brazil
Cruise Day 2
Sun worshippers revel in the beauty of the beaches at Piata and Itapoa. For sightseeing, the best bet is a city tour that includes the old town, the Mercado Modelo and the museum of candomble saints in Pelourinho Square. Most tourists leave here with a ribbon from the shrine of Bonfim tied around a wrist, good for three wishes if worn until it falls off. Language: Portuguese Currency: Real (R$)

The black and white vessel is the largest oceangoing tug I have ever seen. Most of the ships at anchor are petrochem vessels.
