Hello again! Paraty is fast becoming a favourite with me, like Cusco its very old (no modern stuff here I tell you) & is typically what I think of when anyone says Brazil to me. The streets are lined with brightly coloured shops & homes, palm trees line every avenue & the streets are cobbled. Very quaint looking. I love it. All we're doing tomorrow is travelling. We've got to take a bus from here to Sao Paulo again (yuk) which is 6 hours, then wai...

Ok, I've been a bit slack on updating this recently but we've been moving around too much for me tosit still long enough! Here's a brief run through of the past 4 days.

She came close but luckily held it together enough for us to get our tickets and ge...

Hello all, This is my final entry from Bolivia & I'm suffering with a stinking cold (thought you only got them from the english weather!). Tourist-wise theres not that many attractions to do in this capital city. We ventured out yesterday afternoon & wandered the surrounding streets & market stalls. Bought a few souveniors (again) & realised that our hostel is located in the heart of the artisian district (no wonder the shopping was good, hu...
