I went to see the medic on board to see if I could get any pills to help me sleep (I've been having trouble with my malarone) - she said she could help me, but would contact a doctor on land first to authorise the issue. I go back to the office. 2 hours later, a panicking office monkey tells me…

some sights of Brazil

July 17th - We got up and went to the bus station to catch our 1pm bus to Rio. We got on at 1.30pm and it was full.  Emma was sat in front of Neil.  We went straight to the Argentinian border crossing where we were waiting for 1hr for everyone to get a stamp in their passport.  The B…

Hi, In our first proper stop in Brazil in Sao Paulo, this is the world´s third largest metropolis with 20 million living around these smogy parts.  Got here this morning after the overnight bus from Foz do Iguacu.  Escaped the torrential downpour that knocked out power here in SP and in…

This, along with the coming journal entries, is coming very late, but what the hell.  This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.  Very, very frightening though, but much more inside the plane that outside of it.

Well, after that week-end full of novelties for me, I had to go to my work conference from Monday to Thursday. It was pretty interesting as well, with very friendly people, and I managed to learn even more about Brasil.The conference was held at Hotel Gloria which is located in Gloria, just in fron…

Porto Alegre is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul state in the south of Brazil! It´s a nice city with its kind and gentle people. Here is the unique place where you´ll have the chance to taste the typical "Chimarrão", a kind of hot tea prepared with "erva mate" and hot water, and served in the famous "cuia"! The city has a lot of beatyful parks and the best sunset on the Guahyba river!

Now we know what everyone is raving about when they talk about Brazilian beaches (and not to mention the horrendous prices here)! We arrived in Paraty from Sao Paulo (the most dirty and disgusting looking city we have seen this far) at about 10pm. We wandered around for over an hour looking for so…

That was my last amazing vacation! If you like sunny days, parties on pretty nice beaches and getting to know people from all over the world, that's the perfect place to enjoy yourself!
