I have been longing to go to South America for ages now and on the spur of the moment, I bought some tickets for Brads (Hubby) birthday. The journey will take us to Rio in Brazil, then Buenos Aires in Argentina and back to Brazil for a short (and at the time undecided) trip - possibly the Iguazu Falls. We have since decided on a few days of sun bathing and snorkelling in Buzios instead, a few days of rest and quiet before heading back to our lives in Norfolk.
And what a choice it has been! Rio is amazing, colourful, lush and wild. The residents love colour and it shows - everywhere. The life is relaxed and the Brazilians know how to have a good time. The city sprawls out among a series of hills and mountains and the best views are taken by the 'Favelas' or slums that have shot up on every available hillside.
