25 August 2010



The map can show us travelling From Brisbane to Auckland to Santiago to Rio de Janeiro.

30.5 hours after we left home we arrived at our destination in Rio de Janeiro at 12.30am local time. We have a reasonable location across the road from Ipanema Beach. It is however a madhouse here. I can’t quite work out why we bought the Navman maps for Brazil as there is as much chance of me getting behind the wheel of a car here as there is for the ocean freezing over. I have lost count of the number of ambulances going past today. Certainly no shortage of paramedic jobs in Rio. In addition, Judy has grabbed me a couple of times today stepping out into oncoming traffic after checking the wrong way for cars coming. I suppose when a city has 8 Million people it is going to be busy.

Nothing to write about mining except that we flew over a mine coming in to Santiago.
