Yesterday about 3pm we finally arrived in a little villiage called Barra de Lagoa. This is in a place called Florianopolis (South of Brazil). Florianopolis is half on main land and half on an island. We are on the island side that has lots of nice beaches. We headed over to the East coast. It is very beautiful here, quiet little fishing villiage. There is not any hotels, just little chalets/appartments. There were 2 other british backpackers on the bus so w...

Yesterday we left Brazil for Argentina. We just went over the boarder. Had to be stamped out and then in. Took a while. As soon as you step over the boarder it all changes, time difference, money, language. It only took us about 2 hours to get to the new hostel. And what a hostel this is.

So that was another person to talk to (incase Gale started boring me!! haha only joking Gal...

And when I showed her the showers that millions of people used her face was a picture. It is alright for me as I'm traveling but she is on holiday. But I did warn her. We went down to the bus station today as Gayle and I booked our tickets for Saturday. We ar...

Sat 5th Feb Little hang over this morning. Went to an ENGLISH pub last night, Lord Jim! Had a few and was very tired so had a wobbly walk home. Didn't roll off top bunk so that was ok. Today we went to the football. About 70 people from the hostel went. As always nothing went smoothly. The mini buses were over an hour late. Got to the game on time though. It was Fluminense V Flamengom, 2 local teams. At Maracana Stadium. Ended up 2-2. Great a...
