11 days to go and counting

Well, this is the first post of my travels, before my travels. Off to South America in precisely 11 days, leaving London and all the cold weather, lack of sun (what happen to global warming!), and expensive things, especially the piss. All these things shouldn't be awaiting me in SUNNY Brazil. First stop, Sao Paulo, a little place of 17 million. Then cruising off to Rio…I've had that Peter Allen song in my head ever since I bought the ticket…'Oooooh when my baby, when my baby smiles at me I go to Rio. Sorry for all the non-Australians out there!
