The 24 hour bus journey from Iguazu was not as bad as expected, apart from the minor panic from Rich thinking he was going to have to endure a 24 hour bus journey with no food, luckily he didnt otherwise it was going to be a long 24 hours for Shelly! We arrived in Rio de Janeiro to glorious sunshine and a ridiculous heat, not that we were complaining as a certain wedding was nearing and we were distinctly lacking any kind of tan as all of our events had kept us o...
