Dec 25, 2008 - Pantanal Wetlands - Happy Christmas/Feliz Natal

(After calling the doctor out the next day turns out I did not have an ear infection but an urinary tract infection and am currently constantly drugged up to me eyeballs oh what fun!) The next day armed with my drugs we headed off to the Pantanal Wetlands for Christmas (salt hotel is for new year). ... We arrived about 3pm and then met up later for a boat trip down the Pantanal River. ... Then it was horse-riding through the Pantanal for some animal spotting (I only managed to see a few birds). ...

Aug 25, 2008 - Curitiba

Our next stop was a bit of a pit stop to break up the 28hr bus journey to Iguazu falls. We stopped off in the Southern city of Curitiba for a much famed scenic rail journey from the mountains to the coast. ... This was after much discussion – with the man who I might remind you loves a good view but will in future be known as Terry – because he thought it was too much money.Our next stop was a bit of a pit stop to break up the 28hr bus journey to Iguazu falls.

After a shitty 2 day transit we arrived in Foz do Iguaçu almost unscathed. ... Our brilliant truck driver Suse narrowly avoided joining in on a car accident and came rather close to running straight over the top of a little black car.After a shitty 2 day transit we arrived in Foz do Iguaçu almost unscathed. ...

Greetings! Last time we updated you, we were in Sao Paulo.

Aug 15, 2008 - Swimming with pirana and caiman in the Pantanals

***This is only temp: I´ll edit this properly later as i~m running out of time*** After a grueling 2 days stuck in Rosita(she´s a truck, not a bus!!) we reached the police check point to the Pantanal. ... We had to change to local transport as the bridges in the Pantanal only have a 15T limit and Rosita is a heavy bitch at nearly 26T or something. ... From river to plate in less than 2 hours :) -Went walking through Pantanal looking for Anaconda. ... -Went horse riding through pantanals and didnt see so much but caught a glimpse of a marsh deer -Went for a boat ride and swam in caimen infested waters :D -Slept in hammocks -Had a toga party Spent 2 and a half days in the Pantanal. ...
