Great family and friends
Hi everyone i hope you are all well upon reading this entry. Sorry for the delay i have been caught up in the intense carnival atmosphere here, every night i am out with friends having pre-carnival drinks. The Brazilians are world famous for their carnival and now i know why, it's all about the build up and then you have the massive explosion at the weekend, that's how it has been explained to me.
The family in the pictures live here in a very nice area. They invited me to their home to share food and drinks with other family and friends via a friend of mine. Too say i was overwhelmed with their hospitality is an under statement. I was very well looked after. The owners of the home are the couple both in red, ( Nelson and his wife Vanoa) the other people are friends and family.
It is extremely refreshing to know there are people all over the world who are still willing to open their arms in welcome to total strangers, this i believe is what being an human being is all about.
I am so excited about the carnival, i feel like a little boy waiting for Christmas. I will video as much of the Carnival as possible, you may even see me attempting the Samba.
Stay tuned for Carnival

The Journey from Uruguay to Brazil
Hi everyone i hope you are all well upon reading this entry. I am currently in Brazil a place called Florianopolis, it's by the coast, south from Rio De Janeiro. It's a very nice place, all around people are preparing for the Carnival, banners are being put up , i even saw a group practicing their dance routine for the Carnival.
I left Uruguay on Tuesday afternoon by coach, the journey was supposed to take 18hrs. It actually took 24hrs, the first problem was we encountered the traffic jam of all traffic jams, we were at a stand-still for 2 and half hours. We moved off and just as the finish line was in sight, the coach broke down another 2hrs wait. luckily for us where the coach broke down was right beside a coach mechanic (touch). We waited another 2hrs for it to be fixed, we were only 20 minutes away from our final destination. I missed my connection to Rio hence why i am traveling today, to be honest i needed a good nights rest in a proper bed.
Today i am on my way to Rio by coach. I leave at 2pm, we are 2hrs behind GMT. I should arrive in Rio De Janeiro on Friday morning, if all goes well.
Take care all my next entry should be from Rio De Janeiro.
