Bom Dia (that´s almost the extent of our Portugese!!), We are ending our 14 week journey around South America on an absolute high in the marvellous (as the local´s call it) of Rio de Janeiro. We will rave on about it shortly but this is quite a contrast from our arrival to Rio ten days ago; where it was pouring with rain, beaches were deserted and we couldn´t see the tops of the mountains, let alone the statue!!
