Brazil

We arrived in Brazil on the 27th August. Our transfer didn´t turn up (surprise surprise) so we had to pay for another taxi.

The 1st day we were too scared to take anything out with us, so unfortunately we didn´t get an photos of Copacabana or Ipanema beaches.


The next day we attempted to go to Sugar Loaf - but they advised us against it!!



Ilha Grande



It would have been great if the weather was nice!


The Argentinian side of the IguaÇu Falls - takes your breath away. Absolutely unbelievable.


The group that we are on the trip with.



The calm before the storm. We later went on a boat trip through the falls - rather different!!


A typical Brazilian/Argentinian show.


Don´t jump Martin.!The Brazilian side of the falls. Amazing to see the sheer amount of waterfalls.



This cave in Bonito was beautiful. The man said that there are 2 options for the colour of the water - either a scientific one or that they put blue dye in it?!


Martin looking good. For anyone that has watched League of Gentlemen - he reminds me of the cave guide in that. Nice!


Looking hot in our swim suits ready to go river snorkelling.



We slept in hammocks. It´s quite difficult trying to get in a sleeping bag and in a hammock after a few Caiprinias (Brazilian drink)!


There were loads of Caimens - like small alligators.


Before we went Piranha fishing.....


Very safe - hooks flying around and Piranhas and Caimens in the water! In this photo I was being eaten alive by these little fish - they nearly bit a mole off my leg so I had to get out.



Did we get in that water?!!!


The Pantanal Jungle - this is our group and the local guides. We were ferried around in the back of the trucks - optimal comfort!
