Bom Dia,
We have spent the last few days in Rio visting Sugar Loaf mountain, the Christ and going out to the Samba towns. Last night (1st December) we went with some friends we met to see the christmas tree that they light up every year in Rio, it floats around on the lake and last night there was a big party in celebration of the lights being switched on, and its also the start of summer here. We have decided to change our planned route...we were going to a place called Ilha Grande for Beth´s birthday, however it looks like storms are forecasted for those few days. So instead we are catching a coach this afternoon, that will take us to the Northeast of Brazil, to Salvador. The coach journey will take about 27 hours and then we have to get a boat from Salvador to an island just off the coast (which may take about 3 hours), and then from there we get a smaller boat to this other island where we are hopefully going to arrive for Beths birthday. So it will take about 2 days to reach to, but we´re sure it will be worth it.
We´re off to a hippy market now, see what we can find...
Tom and Beth
