Home Sweet Home
Finally made it back home in one piece yesterday at 10.30AM, after a 32-hour journey. Yippee!! Was getting worried when our flight from Rio to Sao Paulo had to turn back to Rio due to "bad weather" after flying over Sao Paulo for about half an hour trying to land. Luckily ...
Last Entry from Rio
One last quick entry before we head off to the airport. Spent the arvo at Rio Sul mall, doing some last-minute shopping. Ended up spending last night hanging out at our old hostel with Yegane. It was nice actually. Felt like we were back home again. Met up with her at the hostel and ...
The Last Couple of Days
Went to watch Borat with Yegane a couple of nights ago. So funny, but so wrong. Was planning to have an early night, but changed my mind when Yegane asked me if I wanted to come out with her and Bree for a walk to get some food. That was ...

Carnival in Rio!!
We finally made it to our last stop, Rio de Janeiro, in one piece. Were pretty annoyed when we had to wait around for our transfer to pick up other passengers from the international terminal. The guy didn´t come back after like 25 minutes, so we thought, stuff it, can´t be ...
Foz do Iguassu
So... we spent 2 days on the Brazilian side of Iguazu, and it was STINKING HOT. Apparently on our first afternoon it was 42 degrees at 5PM, and when we got out for dinner at 9 it was still 31 degrees. I was one cranky girl there. The Brazilian side of ...
Last Days in BA and Iguazu
We arrived in Iguazu yesterday and it's stinking hot in here!!! A lot worse than BA, especially since the last couple of days in BA were unusually cool. We had to wear our jumpers on our last night out! Anyway, second last night in BA... caught a fast ferry back from Colonia ...
In Colonia!
I'm in Colonia, Uruguay on a day trip at the moment and I thought I'd post an entry from here. First things first. Tango Backpackers officially is the worst hostel I've ever stayed at. I booked the ferry tickets to here from them. They charged me 5 pesos commision, and then ...
Tango Etc (Still in the fabulous BA)
Johnno's Spanish lesson #2: [reciting our hostel's address to the cab driver last night]: "Thames two two uno two" (note: pronounce "two" in Spanish accent) LOL... ahhh endless source of amusement... So anyway, yesterday I went shopping around the Palermo Soho neighbourhood and Alta Palermo shopping mall. Bought some nice tops (I love ...
