When my baby.. when my baby smiles at me I go to RIO






Hi family and friends

Obligardo from Rio where the people speak Portuguese, the women wear thongs and not on your feet and the men are ooh la la with their European styled bather shorts.

Ross and I have (and Poppy Ted and Lil Chockie) have enjoyed spending the last two days in Rio. After arriving at the airport from Iguazu and being met by our tour guide Claudio we checked into the hotel and received our tour induction for what the next day would bring.

I must add, apart from the beautiful rock formation scenes, blue skies and sparkling waters, I am in Kombi heaven. Yes, that's right, Rio seems to be the home of the kombi from touchdown at the airport, a lot of the maintenance vehicles, are you guessed it, kombis. So, can you imaging me sitting in the taxi bus with my eyes wide open when we travel to our destination that there were a million kombi vans passing by. I started taking photos and tapping Ross's arm but found I had to quickly calm down. The kombi sight would last the whole time we were here.

We had an early start the next morning to beat the heat and the bus loads of tourists. It's quite advantageous to be in a group of four plus your guide. Less standing and queueing. I'll be back, just want to post these photos
