Obrigada Brasil! Last day
The famous steps that have been tiled by eccentric local artist Selaron. Snoop, Pharrell and that redhead from CSI have all filmed at this location in Santa Teresa, our favorite neighbourhood in Brazil.

The girl from Ipanema
Our capoeira instructor thinks I'm better than Ash! Not that we're competitive. Fact is neither of us are great so here's a demo by the master himself. Something to aspire to.
Rio welcomed us with open arms.
The city is as stunning as supermodel Gisele!
The bar that inspired 'The girl from Ipanema' serves toxic caiprinhas.
Street scenes from Santa Teresa, our favorite neighbourhood in Rio.
Is he painting the building or himself?
On Brazil's independence day, the party spilled out to the streets.
Soccer ... Of course.
We flew to Salvador and stayed with Antonio and Graca, Daniel's parents, who introduced us to the spectacular cuisine. Mocequa, acaraje, couscous with banana and with coconut. Mmmm...
Rest and relaxation at nearby island Boipeba.

Flight of the condors
This entry is late. Have been stuck on a remote island, poor us...
As if the Inca Trail wasn't enough, Ash and I hiked up another mountain to view the mighty condors in the lower Andes, Bolivia. This area is also famous for being one of Che Guevara's hangouts.
After a few minutes' wait, the flight of the condors began. This photo doesn't really do justice to their two-metre wing span.
Er, I'd put up better footage with close ups but it's shakier than the Blair Witch Project. And I haven't worked out how to use the video editing software yet.
Bolivia also has ancient ruins, like this fortress in Samaipata which is very well preserved but attracts a fraction of the tourists that Machu Picchu does.
Next ... Goodbye mountains, hello sun, surf and sand.
