well that´s it, the end of my trip, 20 months and a half and it´s time to get back home. i tried keeping it quiet that i was coming home but donal left a message on the board suggesting that i was coming to the end of my trip, bless him, he wasn´t to know.

rio was a great place to finish my trip even if it did rain for the first 3 days we were here. when the sun comes out it makes any place better but rio is stunning when the suns out. we walked along ipanema and copacabana beachs, shoped in markets for hours, went on a city tour and i even went hang gliding over rio. absolutly brilliant. i was shaking like a leaf before going over the edge but when we were flying it was amazing, it can´t even start to describe it. but all things must come to an end so if any of you read this it´d be great to see you for a pint or two in the club tomorrow night (thursday the 5th), see you there.
