Rio... floods?? Where?? Know nothing about it! We're on holiday!
We have moved around a lot since we last spoke to you all and are now in Uruguay. We spent some time in Florianopolis, which is a coastal town, on an island, 18 hours south of Rio. Anna's bum took a good day or so to recover from that one. We spent one day on the beach and another walking to a waterfall on the edge of a lake. The walk took about 3 hours in total and oddly, after some searching and a slight tumble on Steph's part, no waterfall was ever found. We think it may be very very small and so only ants can find it!! They have big ants!
After a couple of days there we took a very quick over night bus to Porto Alegre. So quick in fact we arrived three hours before we thought we would. Instead of arriving at about 8am, a nice safe day light hour, we arrived at 5am!! The next two hours were spent in silence, staring into space, attempting to stay awake waiting for the sun to come up, with the exception of a Brazilian jibbering away to us at 5.30! As you can imagine, we weren't very responsive!
Porto Alegre was alright, the tourist office women quickly started highlighting more things once she heared we were there for 12 hours. Aparently people don't spend much time in the area... We would recommend the park tho, good for a quick nap while the other cuts up wedding magazines.
Last night, after wasting hours in the bus station, we got an overnight bus to Montevideo. Dinner and breakfast provided!! Although Anna didn't stay awake long enough (half an hour) to get hers. Montevideo, so far has been amazing, cooler, lovely people and cheaper!!
We are here for a couple more days before heading to Colonia Del Sacramento and onto Argentina.
Hope you're all having fun at home!
Anna and Steph
