I landed in Rio to gray skies and rain running down the windows of the plane.  After passing through customs, I was greeted by the smiling face of Manu, a local guide I had hired to take me around for a couple days.   He dropped me off at my hostel, a block of Ipanema beach and there…

BACK in Rio and it is still one of the most entertaining cities i have ever been to - met my sister who have arrived to do some travelling with me for a few weeks and off we went - time to sight see!Friday spent most of the day just wandering around Copacabana beach and such things as the girls wer…

Rio de Janeiro (Hee-oh) was a great chance for us to settle into the country, try and learn a few words in Portuguese, discover all about the Angolan slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries but to mainly do bugger all and lie on Copacabana beach for two days sipping cerveza and caipirinhas. &nb…

I went hanggliding in Rio. Spectacular wiewes of the city!

One of my favorite things were my two trips to rio de janerio, one with my fellow holiday worker and the other with paloma, who knew the area very well.  When we went down we got caught in a holiday celebrating St.George, so they had a sort of party on the beach.  The other great thing is…

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.

my trip to Brasil

A fabulous 5 months of exploring the exotic continent, mostly unplanned!

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile.  This is just a short note to say that I will upload more pictures when I get back into the U.S.  I ran into a little trouble, but everything is OK. Today we went to Sugar Loaf.  The views of the city from there were just amazing! Tomorrow is our…

Pictures are worth a thousand words.  Unfortunately, those words are "What does a gay batman look like?" unfortunately, this PC does not use DVD´s, only CD´s, and all the pics are on the DVD, so you´ll just have to wait a bit until you see me as an incan love warrior. (Aha - we now have the…

Welcome to my Travel Blog. I will be travelling from Vancouver on the 16th of April with a short stopover in Santa Barbara then on to Guatemala on April 19th and then by land south to Argentina and flying out of Rio de Janeiro Brazil on August 27th.

In my 20 months in Munich, I heard this word far too often (German: to have landed).  This time, obviously, it means a lot more (namely that I'm officially a bum).  I've been in Rio for 4 days, but I'm already baptised a bum, and in true bum fashion I've waited until the last possible mom…

a few days in Rio to watch the fireworks and enjoy the "wonderful town"

Now I don't want to seem at all arrogant! (that wouldn't be like me at all aye... lol) but I thought I knew a thing or two about international travel!  Turns out, always something new to learn.  I blindly let the travel agent lead me and didn't think to double check connections and the ro…
