Back to the hills

Left Campos to go to Itaperuna. Arrived just before lunch as usual. Met be a few Rotarins and Meryellen. Had a nice relaxing lunch and our host (Pedro) turned up just after we had finished as he was working - his wife was in Campos for the day - we had been paired up again (boys and girls) so Raf and I are together again

Heat, birthdays and beer!

Let lovely Fribugo to drive to Conceiçaô de Macabu which was a few hours away

Arrived ti find it unbelievably hot and sunny - sweating just sitting still! We were all staying the their current Rotary Club President, Dolce. So we had lunch at her house along with her husband.

B-Day + 2

A very busy day with breakfast, brunch, late lunch and dinner still too come - with added musical entertainment!

First visited a college in the centre of town that trains technicians of many different kinds - medical, computer, health and safety, etc then on to a centre that looks after and gives advice to people with HIV but who cannot afford any treatment and finally in the morning to the Archeological Museum where we supposed to meet the Mayor but he didn't arrive but we were given a performance by some local school children of a song sun in the local native brasilian language.

B day + 1

Arrived in Barsil safely! Was delayed coming off the place as they wanted to inspect it because of Piggy Flu! All the staff in the airport were wearing face masks!

Had a police escort from the airport to the hotel which was either worrying (it is dangerous) or a privilege (because we are so important) - probably the former!

Went straight out of the hotel for a light snack around the corner - with the mini-bus nearly going up a one way street against 3 lanes of traffic. Nice meal at a buffet with lots of variety and then straight to bed for a nice sleep.

1 sleep to go ...

Is everybody ready?

Just got to put all my stuff in to bags tonight and then I'm good to go!

Better start to think about packing and making sure I have everything I need for 4 weeks away.

Suited and booted!
