Hey there guys time for an update. Well we've changed our plans already! We skipped Ouro Preto cos it was a hassle to get to, and we left rio because we had a few incidents that made us just wanna leave! The weather was awful in Rio and, so we decided to watch the football game,go out dancing and move on the next day. The football was amazing,even though the stadium was pretty much empty, but some of the group went into the main crowd to mingle with the Fluminese fans. This was a bad idea on my part...some guy turned to us and said something and i replied with `yeah Argentina cheaters`... he turned round told all his mates something and they all looked over, then he pulled me close and wispered something really meancingly in my ear (supposedly he also had his manhood in his hand at the time!) and it turned out he was saying he was gonna rape me!?! nice. safe to say we ran away pretty quick. but we were ok. so we got away with that then we went out in ipanema, had a really good noght then when we left the bar some of our group decided to by some drugs and a little further up the road they we pulled over and searched by the police, who then said you face 8 years in jail or give us 1500 reais which is about 450 pounds! but they got dropped of at the hostel with a go between and they told him where to go and they didn't have to pay anything luckily!! do~'t think any one will be tempted again! So then we just upped and left rio for some sun. We travelled up with a guy called francis who we meet in Rio and we've all been here 2 days now and it`s brilliant staying at a chilled out pousadda, which is like a little house converted for guests. the guys who run it (Syl and Andy) are wicked they took us out last night and we're going for a meal later on as well. Andy's nephew mike, is here from Cardiff and he's a good laugh and a nice bloke so we're prob all gonna go out later. been on the beach all day, weather is much nicer here, Full moon beach party tmoz, should be fun. spk soon were supposed to be meeting with another mate here but he hasn't arrived yet!
