We made it! We're in Rio and yesterday went for a really nice walk along the Atlantic on Copacabana beach! It's much nicer than the Pacific in Lima, which was grey, stormy and surrounded my ugly buildings. I'm gald we travelled this way round. I feel closer to home too- the time difference is now only 4 hours, not 6 like in Peru, and it's the same sea I was surfing on in Cornwall in July!
We have 2 more nights here before I head off to Salvador and Jen goes home. Today we're planning to go to the beach in Rio, and maybe do some touristy stuff and go flip-flop shopping (mine got dyed rather brown from the mud in the Pantanal). Tomorrow we're hopefully going to a place called Ilha Grande with some Brazilian friends we met on the way to La Paz. The only problem is the weather- today it's forecast as 35 degrees and sunny, tomorrow 23 and rainy! Either way it's nice to relax and know that we have no more long bus journeys left.
