Oct 17, 2009 - Brazil

We have had four awesome weeks in Brazil, discovering the people, the wildlife, the love of football and the beautiful coastline. The female was in perfect condition and the one cub was so inquisitive that he sat for about 20 minutes watching us and patrolling the bank! Every one was on cloud nine! We had started and ended our tour with a bang, the jungle had repaid us for all our efforts! Suddenly the 41 hour bus trip that we were facing seemed do-able!
