Sao Paulo, Brazil

Well I have finally made it down to Sao Paulo which I am sad to announce is my final destination before flying home, tomorrow.

Annabel Hi Jon! I did the most dangerous bike ride in the world and can certainly vouch for the scary factor! Pelting down blind bends with 100ft drops, cycling through waterfalls and dodging monster trucks driven by cazy Bolivians that would, withought hesitation, crush you against the side of the mountain than get too close to the edge themselves! Glad you made it alive! Take care :) Annabel xxx

jacqui Oh for heavens sake! Jon I love you loads but I'm getting a flight to Chile NOW to come and kick your butt! I thought all people who worked in travel knew to copy cricketers!! (Follow the sun when traveling the globe). Any way hope you are now over your BOY-FLU and are back to your glorious sunny self! Sound like Chile will benefit from your own special brand of warmth... and think positive BOROUGH MARKET awaits your return!! (you know what I mean) Big Kiss Jax
