Day 96: A Rainy Saturday In Rio
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC03991_thumb.jpg
Sat. 17th November 2012 Whilst definitely better than a wet Wednesday in Bognor, the weather in Rio is not turning out to be like the mental images that we have of Rio. It is another grey, overcast day with low …
Day 95: Walk Around The Beaches
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC03959_thumb.jpg
Fri. 16th November 2012 It is our last day close to Copacabana Beach before moving to the centre of Rio and the weather is still not lazing on the beach sunny. Having said that, as this is a bank holiday …
Day 94: Favela Tour
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SAM_2486_thumb.jpg
Thur. 15th November 2012 Having said our final goodbyes to everyone yesterday, it was just the two of us at the breakfast table. We’d better get used to the experience as we don’t have any more group tours booked. We’re …
Day 93: Rio In A Day
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC03893_thumb.jpg
Wed. 14th November 2012 At breakfast, it is time to say goodbye to everyone – the eight others who we have been with since Lima 45 days ago, as well as the three (four including our tour guide Zaida) who …
Day 92: Raining
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC03876_thumb.jpg
Tue. 13th November 2012 “It’s raining” said Janet as she (carefully, given lack of attire) peered past the curtains after getting out of bed. We all make mistakes in life and mine usually revolve around paying insufficient attention to Janet. …
Day 91: Seaside Treats
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SAM_2439_thumb.jpg
Mon. 12th November 2012 Lopes Mendes beach on Ihla Grande is said to be one of the top beaches in South America, so I had to investigate and try it out! Time for a girls outing and six of us …
Day 90: Living On An Island
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC03824_thumb.jpg
Sun. 11th November 2012 It is starting to sink in that we are getting close to the end of our trip with G Adventures as we drive up the coast from Paraty to Ihla Grande (Big Island), the penultimate stop …
Day 89: No Buses Today
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC03792_thumb.jpg
Sat. 10th November 2012 It was a free day today. One of the optional excursions today was a local bus to Trinidade beach which sounded interesting but Dave said no way was he getting on a bus today. Another alternative, …
Day 88: 24 hours To Tulsa–But Further to Paraty!
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/WP_000232_thumb.jpg
Fri. 9th November 2012 I woke up this morning to find Janet sleeping beside a strange man – even more bizarrely he was wearing a uniform and wasn’t looking particularly happy. Fortunately, it isn’t grounds for divorce and there is …
Day 87: It’s Thursday so it Must Be Paraguay
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/DSC03780_thumb.jpg
Thurs. 8th November 2012 Time to pack our bags again and move on as it is our mammoth 24 hour bus journey tonight, across Brazil to Paraty on the coast. We do not leave the hotel until 5:20pm so are …
