Went to Lapa again last night which was a blast as always...off to Sana today for a few days then coming back to Rio to fly to Salvador. Apparently it´s a little town in the mountains, off the beaten track so Im looking forward to going there. Rio and Ilha Grande have been great in their own ways but both have been full of backpackers like us, and sometimes I think it gets in the way a bit of appreciating the country and cariocas (locals) around you.

Natwest are still screwing Jess around, so she´s just gone to cash her travellers cheques before we head out to the bus station. If you dont hear from us in a few days its probably cos Sana doesnt have internet access, hehe. Anyway, chao!  ¶ 5:38 AM
