Surfing and SambaSo another 16 hour bus journey this time landing in Florianopolis which is famous for its surfing. Following a successful lesson, we are considering entering the World Championships this weekend. Competition will be tough, but weve come up with a brilliant routine consisting of loopdeloops and 360 slammers - will let you know how it all goes.We have also taken up samba dancing - went to their local nightclub, intersting experience...a little diff...

Hotter than the sun! It is 45 degrees and it is just unbearable!!! Last few days it´s been around 36, but today reached 45! arrghhh....! We arrived in Foz on Wednesday morning following a 22 hour night bus trip! Hell! But had amazing time visiting falls both from Brazilian and Argentinian side. The falls are so amazing!

Havent explored much, think we will now, - might attempt to check out their...

ROCHINA Today we experienced the most amazing thing ever! Its impossible to explain exactly what we saw, it really was the craziest thing ever! We started the day by getting a motorbike taxi up to the top of the Favela. They really didnt care about road discipline - doubt they had to pass any sort of highway code!
