Hey guys, hope all is well with everyone. Travelling keeps getting better and better. Met some mint aussie guys and gals in Sao Paolo and went out on the most mental night ever, the lunges and worm came out which is always the sign of a good night (further details available on request)!! After that we got an overnight bus to Rio which is the best place in the world without a shadow of a doubt. We are staying in a Lime Avenue (just for you mowgli) style cul de sac with 6 other hostels so it is just a massive party. Our first day consisted of Ipanema, Copacobana, Champions league viewing in a bar next to Copacobana and then Estadio Maracana in the evening to watch a live game (PB gives shout best day of his life). Yesterday we did the handgliding over the city onto the beach below having already taught the locals a thing or two about beach volleyball on Ipanema (SB gives shout best day of his life), and today we went up Sugarloaf mountain on a stinking hangover having had a cheaky swim in the ocean watching the sunrise over the beach following a mental drinking binge. Life is definitely good. All that and i haven't started on the thongs yet.... Good luck on your travels L'Orange, Biff and Molly. Hope Reading and Norwich boys are all good and hope the brum and leeds crew are all ok. Take care and enjoy the snow.
