Rocinha The traficantes (chefes) do have "olhoes" who look for policial and gangs rivals who try come for the favela. If some body who comes for trouble the "Fogos" make fireworks in the sky and let everbody in the favela know troubles come and we can get in the house. The police make most troubles in the favela. I live in Cachopa bairro in Rocinha. If you wanting know more of Rocinha, send for me e-mail

Having fun? Good to see you're still alive, not eaten by sharks, dingos, mosquitos, Australians or drop bears. Ain't bush camping fun! Takes us back to read about the "bathroom" and "toilet facilities"!!! Keep on keeping on,
Best wishes,
Gwilym and Sue and Gaynor
Bug bites Hi you two, I just couldn't resist asking if the bed bugs have recovered from biting Melissa, great to talk to you two this weekend, and I'll call again tomorrow before you move off to Fraser Island.Love to you both Dad and Anna
Writers cramp? Hey hey! A published author no less (hmmm bet you'll become unbearable now) just as well you did it before you got your shots tho - will you still be able to work on the farm with these stiff arms? So pleased you won - I really think its a great story too. Love ya Mandy x x
learn to spell Incredible. Someone with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of writing about some seriously interesting stuff, and the spelling and "Jamie-Oliveresque" abundance of "wicked" gives me the impresion that you just were another pom with pasty skin playind "bandido" in South America.
Oooooooh sunshine! Hiya - sorry we haven't been in touch. Been travelling ourselves - just a week in Morocco but it was bliss to lie in the sun n relax. Since we got back it has been snowing brrrrrrr!(also Colchester played Man Utd and made them work for it!!). Great to get yer blogs - keep em comin!
Love Mandy
Koalas Hello you two, loved the photo of you Melissa with the Koala, have a similar one of Katie when she was in Australia. I really enjoy hearing what you have been doing. Sounds as though you are having a great time. All is well with me, had a busy week in shop as it was half term. We decorated the window in blue/white last week. There was a competition with shop owners decorating their windows in support of Colchester who were playing Chelsea. Sure someone must have told you! They lost 3-1, but didn't they do well. No, we didn't win, but it brought a lot of interest as people walked by.
Keep the Blogs coming. Love to you both Lin

Brilliant photo Hi, Great to hear your both keeping well and still enjoying your trek. Photo from the plane is brilliant gives you a real perspective of the harbour if you've never been. Hope you enjoy Brisbane, take care. love Barb
What a great time This trip to the outback sounds real real fun, and I could see what was coming as soon as you described the funnel and the spuds on your head, it's similar to a number of games i've seen befor.
Great pictures and titles, love to you both
Dad and Anna
