Well it´s certainly been a week of highlights and lowlights (and I´m not talking hair cuts although I think one will be needed soonish). Well hi everyone, I´ve got lots to tell so be warned this could be a long posting. We finally left Mendoza city last Friday and made our way with a stinking hangover (Jon) and a very bad tummy (me) on a dodgy old hot bus to a town about 400ks south called San Rafael which is another big wine area in the Mendoz...

Well let me just say I´ve now seen one of the great natural wonders of...

Morning everyone. just a very quick update for you all. We´ve finally escaped Rockin´Rio and to be totally honest, we really needed too - after a fantastic last night of Carnaval which was spent in Impenena (via wild street party and even wilder beach party) Jon and I packed our bags said bye bye to our wonderful house in Copacabana and jumped on a plane to Curitiba where after one night in a 5* hotel and an arabian dinner (??) in this lovely little o...
