Bob and Nige-The World Tour 2006! (Fi & Jen)
hey kids
weve now been in rio a few days and are absolutely loving it. went up to sugar loaf mountain today for sunset which was gorgeous!
we are also of course loving the new found sun and being back on the beaches where we have finally witnessed some fitness! its taken 7 months!but hey were not complaining! Have spent the past few days on ipanema and copacabana beach perving away! loving it! However this does not detract from the vile specimins sporting the tiniest speedos known to man! they seem to be donned regardless of size and age and are everywhere we turn! absolutely grim! get ready for the photos coming your way asap!
Danced the night away yesterday, samba style at a street party in lapa which was mental - The pickpockets are however unbelievable and we heard loads of horror stories throughout the night about stolen items. Thinking ourselves lucky we had not been targeted i was devastated to realise when arriving home that my favourite necklace had been swiped from my very neck in the club! Unbelievable- the cheek!!
Since leaving santiago we flew to buenos aires which proved to be one massive error- with news of a broken nose and fis mystery illness we became recluses for the week. Bed ridden and trapped within the four walls of the prison like hostel we were anything but happy campers!
we were overjoyed to escape the city and head up to iguazu falls which were amazing. spent a couple of days in the national parks on both the argentinian and brazilian sides. we infact formed quite the fan club and were followed around for the day by a group of middle aged korean guys! just our luck - bloody typical! they insisted on snapping photos of us to frame when they got back home -vile! we were quick to escape before the autograph signing commenced!
Stopped of in sau paulo for a couple of nights where we astounded ourselves with our new found navigation skills -managing to have a successful days sightseeing with no errors to report. unbelievable!
off to the footbal tomorrow at the maracana- hopefully will manage to avoid getting into any riots! fingers crossed!
