I’m up and ready and raring to go. Today is the first of two travel days, Dundee to London here I come.
We have arrived
17 ноября 2024 г., Бразилия ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F
Blimey oh Riley I remember why I don’t fly cattle class, thank goodness we made use of the airport lounge to chill, eat and drink. Sleep was hard to come by as it was soooo uncomfortable. HoweverЧитать далее
ПутешественникHe is an angel. You are small enough tp fit an economy seat with room to spare.. how did Jack and Vitoria fare?
REEBANOCO aka SharionVitoria slept Jack kept poking me hence my lack of sleep
ПутешественникAre we there yet ?no doubt..🤣 . What is the time difference?
Quick jaunt to the shops
17 ноября 2024 г., Бразилия ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
Having spent the morning meeting Vitoria’s family we went to town to get some SIM cards. We came away with toys for Oakley, drinks and snacks but no Sims. Oh well always tomorrow 🤣. Im nowЧитать далее
REEBANOCO aka SharionIt looks impressive will try to do the aquarium too as Oakley will love that
Mosteiro de Sao Bento

Just to keep to my Camino theme once Vitoria finished at the dentist and joined us we made our way to the monastery whats a holiday without a church or two 🤣 This was on my list of must do placesЧитать далее

How beautiful is that I’d have been there for hours looking at those windows and the ceiling . ❤️
Japanese Town
18 ноября 2024 г., Бразилия ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Last stop of the day was a trip to the area where all the Japanese live, unfortunately the gardens were closed today so we will try and pop back another time but we had a stroll, some street food andЧитать далее
REEBANOCO aka SharionIt is but it has a teat on the bottle. However, I believe it’s made for adults not children the Japanese do like strange things !!
ПутешественникHow very odd! I thought surely wouldn’t give it to a baby.
Sao Paulo Zoo
18 ноября 2024 г., Бразилия ⋅ 🌙 75 °F
Jack and I went off to the zoo today whilst Vitoria chose to go and visit the dentist. She tells me it’s much cheaper in Brasil. São Paulo Zoo was amazing so spacious. Adjoining the zoo are theЧитать далее
REEBANOCO aka SharionLet me add it was 35+ most of today and I’m pleased to confirm once daily sun lotion does work !
ПутешественникI bet the gardens would have been worth a visit. When Grant goes to Qatar next week it will be over 40 degrees, bet he hasn’t thought of sun lotion
REEBANOCO aka SharionI think we will be getting similar to that when we hit Rio. I prefer mid to late 20’s really
REEBANOCO aka SharionI would have done the gardens but it’s not jacks thing

Today Cecilia celebrated her birthday. I decided to give her a card from London. What you need to know is in Brasil cards are not exchanged. She had no clue what it was or how it opened. I even wroteЧитать далее

Wow is this grandma? Lovely lady. If Vitoria ages this well, she will be very lucky
ПутешественникWish my skin looked as good as that. Looks like a good time was had. 😊

A wander through the village
20 ноября 2024 г., Бразилия ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F
We wandered out to grab a bite to eat and check out the surroundings. I’ll have more to say tomorrow but after a call with Charlie, dinner and shower it’s time to hit the hay.

How lovely, hope you will be looking inside the church’s. Why are you wearing trousers in that heat?
Out to sea at Paraty

We knew rain was forecast and with Jack being slightly overcooked yesterday that was ok. We headed to the old town for a wander. To be fair we spent 2-3 hours walking about until the heavens openedЧитать далее

Exploring the back roads and trails
23 ноября 2024 г., Бразилия ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

Christ the Redeemer
29 ноября 2024 г., Бразилия ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F
What a great day, we did it, we climbed the steps to Christ the Redeemer. Sounds awesome, right? Well we climbed the last 100 or so steps, we cheated and got the bus up. It would’ve been a 5-6 hourЧитать далее
REEBANOCO aka SharionIt was tiny. They hold a Sunday service there but I would imagine most people end up outside

REEBANOCO aka SharionNo Vitoria is scared of heights it was bad enough at Christ the Redeemer, she needed a break today

REEBANOCO aka SharionIt’s still hot though, people lay on the beach all day under the clouds. Strange !
