As I write this, it is now our 7th and final night here in Ilha Grande, Brazil. Grande meaning 'big' in Portuguese is for a sure a correct way to name the island. So big in fact that to get to the beaches, you need to catch a boat or walk a long way. Spending the last seven days here has been fantastic and we would love to stay on and explore more around here. The weather has been hot and sunny every day, the people are friendly, the food is great and there a...

We have since spent a week in Ilha Grande and now we are in Rio de Janeiro. This will probably be brief, but saying that I could still write page after page about the fascinating city of Sao Paulo.

We left Argentina and jumped on a bus, jumped off to get our passports stamped to exit the country, jumped back on the bus, jumped off and got our passport...

Wow, two days ago we visited Iguazu falls and what a memorable experience! I can see why this place attracts millions of visitors each year. We spent nearly a whole day here and were left with a feeling of complete happiness. On this day I saw one of the most amazing, beautiful and tranquil places on earth that I have ever seen before. It was almost surreal in someways as well. I have always thought that Erskine Falls in Lorne, Victoria is stunning an...
