Bom dia everybody!!
It is a sad day for everyone today as this is our last post as a threesome. In a few hours Rebecca will head to the airport to fly back to London and everyone will cry for days and days. Since we last posted we have moved on from Argentina to Brazil, via Iguazu Falls which were, of course, absolutely mind-blowing. The first day, spent looking at the panoramic views of the falls from the Brazilian side, was impressive enough - however on the second day, when we were about 20 metres away from the falls, was absolutely incredible. The mist, many rainbows and rainforest-strewn landscape made us feel as though we were in some kind of Edenic world which was nigh on impossible to capture with a camera.
After spending 3 nights in Iguazu we embarked on our last long bus ride of trip (26 hours!) and, a few bad thriller films later, arrived in Rio. We spent our first few days in Brazil enjoying the sun on Ipanema beach, people watching and attending a football match which was an amazing experience, the crowd being much more entertaining than the game itself. Two Fridays in a row we went to the street party in Lapa, a Rio neighbourhood, which takes place every week and is like a free music festival with cheap drinks, people dancing in the streets and hotboxing the famous Lapa "crazy steps". Last Monday we went to Ilha Grande, a former prison turned tropical paradise, for four days. The incredibly rough boat ride there had us slightly worried but luckily the weather was incredible and we had an amazing time lying on some of the worlds most beautiful beaches, hiking and eating lots of fish, rice and beans.
Maya and Alex will spend the next few days doing the touristy things (Christ the Redeemer, the Sugarloaf) that Rebecca already did when she was here with her family and will (hopefully) spend a lot more time on the beach. It is so weird that such a great trip is coming to an end and we have no doubt that coming home will be an emotional experience for all of us, although we are all super excited for proper towels and beds!
Lots of love (and see everyone soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
