Oi! (portuguese for hello im promised!).. Oh my god there´s so much to write about.. absolutely in love with Rio. I know I´ll forget everything we´ve done because there was so much and i didnt take my camera for hardly any of it, gutteddd, but will try and recall! We spent the first day in a hotel with our group.. but this was our last day together *sobs*. most of us went on a favela tour as soon as we got there.. which involved being razzed up the ghetto hi...

word up! im writing this from Rio but need to play catch up on Paraty and Ilha grande first! I really can´t remember that much of Paraty, (not cause of alcohol all u doubters!), just there wasnt anything too mega there. we went to the beach in the day quite early on and got all our stuff soaked cause noone noticed the tide coming in oops and then at night it was Carlijn´s birthday (a girl from Holland who we have been travelling with). we went to a nice resta...

Brazil Begins!! So we left Santa Cruz (no you~re not that far) on a night train which was jolly.. and arrived in the boilng heat of the pantanal. this is the worlds largest wetland so we were on a bit of a wildlife mish. the place we were staying was a bit like a farm in the middle of nowhere, very basic - we all slept in one big room of hammocks for 2 nights which was actually quite comfy.. it was more the ´spanish monsters´snoring (not sullys for once haha) ...
