Had a lull in blog writing so the last couple of weeks in short:
- Easter Island: Truly incredible place. 20metre high Moai heads, beaches, bumping into Mafalda from work whilst gazing at the sky, Tommy unknowingly chowing down on fish balls, me sucking fish intestine to respect local tradition (subsequently throwing up)
- Valparaiso: Hilly, brilliant graffiti, stinking 24hour operating port outside my bedroom window
- Mendoza: Cycling from vineyard to vineyard sipping malbec, joining a wine tour of 20 people where the guide spoke only to Tommy throughout, seeing Boca juniors play Mendoza and watching Tommy's indifferent/perplexed expression, Tommy on horseback (comedy gold)
- Buenos Aires: Slept behind airport trolley bay en route to Brazil
- Rio: 24hour sweat box hostel, moved to Ipanema glory apartment, Ipanema beach, thongs, Brazilians, caipirinhas on Sugar Loaf at sunset, Christ the Redeemer knee deep in clouds, torrential rain forecast for the 2 weeks of our Brazil beach tour, biking through Rio's biggest favela
