Hola from Brazil or should I say G´Day as I´ve recently been told by different people that I sound Australian I need to get off this truck and soon. Thankfully I soon do as we only have 6 days left until we arrive in Rio for the infamous carnival, perfect. I´m smiling form ear to ear at the moment as time is flying by and each day I´m nearer home.
