In Rio

Just before getting to Rio, the bus emptied of naives and a sorry bunch of about ten westerners were left. The girl who had sat almost next to us for the last six hours asked us about Rio Dulce. We told her that we hadn't booked anything - as we were expecting to have arrived four hours earlier. We mentioned that we were going sailing - and so was she - on the same trip!

The three of us teamed up and found a nice place to stay on the river - called Tortugal. We have a cabin (with a few too much nature inside it for my liking). Kerry (who is Canadian) is staying in a very open-air loft/dorm thing. She is braver than I.

Thursday was spent getting money, eating, sleeping, reading books and - for me, swimming and diving.

Today we join the boat. There won't be any updates for a week. During that week, two of T's friends are having babies (on the same day - in the same hospital - how wierd is that!). We wish them luck and love.
