The arrival of Miss Jennifer Hills

It was pissing it down the day Jenny arrived! I met her at the airport and she put a brave face on, but straight away we went to the Tam office to see if she could change her ticket - she was booked on a flight out of Flori over a week later!

To make up for the rain we made Jen cook us dinner, see how well we treat our guests, why arent more of you coming out to see us huh??!!

Thankfully the sun did come out the next day. Jen and I even had a little paddle in the sea. I got burnt twice, legs front and back had perfect stripes, when will I learn the art of applying sun tan lotion?

Despite the sun the wind was taking its toll so we decided to get the night bus to Sao Paulo. Jen thought she might be able to get us into the Grand Prix through a mate who worked for Honda. Tim was very excited.

It was sad to leave the Papa Pires he really was a gem and made our stay. Jen was very excited about her first trip to a bus terminal and her first night bus... the novelty had definitely worn off for Tim and I, but the buses in Brazil are definitely much better than anywhere else, there was even hot water and hand towels in the bus loo!


(We are having prob with our camera and cant get our brazil pix off so all the pics from the next couple of weeks are Miss Hill´s excellent work)

Erm, not sure about the pose but you get an idea of the beach


It was pretty cold with the wind so the matching fleeces had to come out


Putting a brave face on, despite the rain
