Iguasu Falls-the biggest in the world. Absolutely amazing sight. We had two days visiting the park-which wasn´t enough really. On the first day we visited the Brazilian side, and the second the Argentinian. Had a helicopter ride over the falls(see pics, as they are amazing)....what fun-better than any rollercoaster in the world. On the Argentinian side we got a speed boat that took us down the river as far as Devils Throat and then dunked us under one of the...

Illhe Grande-beaches, beaches and more beaches. A little Island off Rio with supposedly the most beacutigful beach in Brazil-when I get the video up on this thingy you will probably agree with me. Nothing much else to do here apart from a bit of diving. Next beach place was called Paraty-another town built with a lot of chruches by slaves shipped over from Africa by the Portuguese. A pretty place, in which to do a bit more diving...Also watched some Capeira-an A...

Savador-the old capital city of Brazil. Famous for food and Afro-Brazilian dancing and music. The city itself is divided into two parts-the new and old. We are staying in the historic centre. It is very colourful, some of the buildings are falling down due to lack of repair-but it adds character to the place. Last night we went to a world famous Afro-Brazilian Folk Law dance show. The group did slave dances, capeiora and knife fighting-in these amazing costumes...

Buses, buses and more buses-seem to spend forever travelling-which isn~t such a bad thing when you get to places like this. Natal-another surfers paradise...which is not my cup of tea-I almost drowned trying to get out of the surf-got half the beach stuck up my arse, and swallowed half the Atlantic Ocean-yuck! This town does have some good points-it being the foro capital of the country...foro being a ~dance for all~ which involves lots of drinking, drums and gr...

Now hitting the beaches quite a lot. After getting off the boat at Belem, we headed straight to Sao Luis, then had a stop in Parnaiba-another town not worth noting, except for the lush swimming pool we had at the hotel. Whilst there we did a tour of the delta of the Panaria River-seeing monkeys, snakes and crabs. We did some walking in the sand dunes and generally had a good time. Now in Jeri-a hippy beach town-nothing here apart from sea and beach, surfers an...
