Its nearly time to leave & I´ve still got stuff I want to do but haven´t gotten round to it today....ahhhhh!

Still have sugar loaf to do, which will hopefully be today (depending on whether I actually get to go hang gliding today) or if not before we leave tomorrow. Talking of hang gliding i spent 4 hours up a mountain waiting to jump, all harnessed up, adrenaline pumping & it never happened due to the wrong kind of wind?!!!! So I´m hoping today will prove more successful on that front (fingers-crossed!).

Let you know later whether I get to jump or not....................erm it was a no again.  I´m so gutted, this the one thing I wanted to do more then anything in Rio & it´s just not been possible because of the direction of the wind.  To console myself I did the exact opposite of adrenaline sports & ended up spending the day doing girly stuff with helen.  All very boring I know but we got manicures, pedicures, eyebrow shaping & haircuts - all without actually speaking much portugese.  Impressed?  We were, & we don´t look half bad now, who says back packers look rough, lol!

Helen promises me that tomorrow she´s gonna get up early enough to do sugar loaf mountain before we have to check out of the hostel (I´ve already warned her I´m off out on my own if not, lol - I´m not missing that!).  Other than a final stroll down the beach front and lunch somewhere, that´ll probably be the most we have chance to do before we need to catch the bus to the airport (yes, helen´s already freaking out about the planes again). 

I´ll post my final photos, my last blog entry & my thoughts and realisations about our journey in a few days time (I warn you now, I´ll probably be sobbing over my keyboard about wanting to be back here!).  So thats it folks, the end is nigh & I can tell you with absolute certainty that I wouldn´t change a thing about the past 3 months, except maybe bought more money so I could stay, lol!

Bom Noite, Kez xxx
