Hello all just going to give you a quick update on this whole travel thing. First of all the flight out was all cool apart from i only got to sleep for about 3 of the 14 hours i was on the plane. Managed to get through customs without a hitch although it took ages. I then found myself in Rio.

Got a taxi from to the hostel paid too much apparently although there was some haggeling over price, not enough apparently. hostel is cool every1 is nice, we all party together for various carnival anticts. On that first day when and checked out the beaches which are amazing, waves are huge, sun is shining (to much as i burnt). For the evening went out got something to eat and then went for drinks (caprhina´s are very messy) wound up in bed around 7 am. The next night we went to a street party in Lappa but my night got ruined with a bloody mugging, four guys started going through my pockets when i resisted they put a brocken bottle to my neck then they found all my money even my security wallet, i only lost 15 quid and they gave me my wallets back after (how nice of them), so it wasent that bad. next night went to ipenema beach and drank in bars and on the beach. then last night i went to a street party in ipenema again which was amazing. Today have been to christ the redemer and going to another street party tonite.

Basicaly that is what i have done with myself, i will update photos next time i am in a cafe. Weather has been amazing 35 degrees every day no rain yet, brazilian women are mutto binita (very beautiful (i hope))! leave comments or email me so i can be kept upto date.

lots of love pete
