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. HoweverLæs mere
RejsendeHe 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
Quick jaunt to the shops
17. november 2024, Brasilien ⋅ ☀️ 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 nowLæs mere

Japanese Town
18. november 2024, Brasilien ⋅ ⛅ 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 andLæs mere
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 !!
Sao Paulo Zoo
18. november 2024, Brasilien ⋅ 🌙 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 theLæs mere
REEBANOCO aka SharionLet me add it was 35+ most of today and I’m pleased to confirm once daily sun lotion does work !
RejsendeI 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
