Well what can we say about Rio - absolutely amazing! Very hot although got absolutely soaked last night when heading to the beach bars for cocktails so ended up in a local chopperia drinking Skol (not the same as we used to get in England).Well what can we say about Rio - absolutely amazing!

Oct 17, 2009 - Rio de Janeiro and the Costa Verde

In the past 3 weeks we’ve been travelling down the Costa Verde (Green Coast) from Rio de Janeiro to our hammock in Florianopolis where I’m currently swinging gently and typing an update! Tough times. ... If each leg of our trip had to have a theme then this last one might have to be rain.In the past 3 weeks we’ve been travelling down the Costa Verde (Green Coast) from Rio de Janeiro to our hammock in Florianopolis where I’m currently swinging gently and typing an update!

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! Rio de Janeiro (Teneale) We couldn´t have timed our time in Rio any better as we arrived the day they announced that Rio had won the Olympic bid for 2016. ... This meant that every Brazilian was in the mood for a party and we were just as keen! After purchasing bright yellow ¨Brazil¨ vests we had drinks along the famous Copacabana beach front.We have had four awesome weeks in Brazil, discovering the people, the wildlife, the love of football and the beautiful coastline.

Jul 13, 2009 - one week left

Finally getting to Paraty extremely late I quickly booked onto a diving trip for the following day and went to bed. ... Next day up early in the beach resort of Paraty, it had finally stopped raining and the sun was shining, i did 2 dives which were really relaxing and enjoyable, not much to see fish wise but it was just nice to be 'under the sea' and spend some time away from the group. ... Left Paraty headed to the Island of Ilha Grande, I had planned to stay an extra night ( 3 days instead if 2)Day 1 we arrived late only had time for dinner a stop at the Kilo icecream place, (where you fill tubs of icecream and pay by weight, DANGEROUS!!!) and a few drinks before going to bed. ...
