So its been over 40,000 kms, 82 beds, 81 games of rummikub (Rhian is crowned Part I Champion 42-39), 1 injection in the butt, and the day has finally come to return home.
We have had a gorgeous 5 days attempting to top up a tan (some more successful than others) on a lush tropical island, and 4 days in Rio. We took several hikes on 'Ihla Grande' to various secluded beaches, thankfully avoiding the snakes, though bumping into the odd monkey, bird, and mosquito.
Rio has been a 'grand finale' of stunning views, sunsets, beach time, and some of the most cracking beach bods we have ever seen. Turns out team Hiles are in no shape to compete on Copacabana beach! They dont believe in 'boardies' here (tiny tight trunks are the way to go), nor bikini bottoms (g-strings only), we havent really known where to look (well, we had an informative afternoon yesterday sat just behind the showers on the back of the beach...) We even met up with some of Dans HL colleagues (they get everywhere) for a night out with some of the locals.
So we cannot wait to get back and see all you lovely lot, though to take the edge off going back to work we have booked flights for Part II - Team Hiles Grand Tour of China, SE Asia, Australia and NZ leaving on the 16th July!
See you very soon
