We landed in Rio 10 minutes ahead of schedule after enjoying a flight with extra leg room because we had the 'front row seats'. This was great for us as it meant we could get some sleep but you had to feel sorry for the 7' guy behind us! After a 1.5 hours stop at Sao Paulo sat on the plane we were off again and landed in Rio at 7.50am on Monday 2nd June. Rio is not at all as we had expected, yo... Read Full Entry

Back in 2008 we took 21 months off work, rented out the house, found a foster home for Stuart (cat!) and ventured out to the big wide world. We saw as many places as we could fit in in the time we were on the road and returned home in February 2010 after a truly life changing and eye opening journey. Our adventure lasted... 615 days! After our return we fell into the routine of life back in the UK but have always planned to get back out there as soon as we could.

Good weather!
Glad you arrived safely! Yes, Rio is expensive...but hey you had far better weather than what we did. Copa and Ipanema beaches looked like Blackpool when we were there! Bet the dads and other blokes will like the thong shot, we hope Sofe took that pic so it didn't look too pervy! Have fun at Ilha Grande xx

Had a look at your pics, someone is pretty good with the camera, there are some reaaly good ones in there. Scenery helps though!! looks amazing. My office and desk and laptop somehow seem a bit dull all of a sudden.

Football?
My first ever football match (and last may I hasten to add!) was at Northampton Town Football ground watching the under 21 team play Leicester under 21's. It scarred me for life...maybe if I had seen it in Rio I would be a different person now! It looks like it was absolutely fab. Keep up with the blogging, very interesting read. I want to hear all the details, especially the 'geeky' bits about nature and scenery and dont stop the thong watch!
