After a month in vast, rhythmic and sexy Brazil, we are on our final night in the Americas. Tomorrow we head out to Africa for the final phase of our trip.

The last few weeks have been spent with family (the Tourneys) and friend (Cheist), so there's an interesting feeling of being on our own again...

Time to head from somewhere with a bad reputation for crime (Rio) towards somewhere with the reputation as the most dangerous city in the world (Jo'burg). Fortunately we are only passing through en route to more amenable Cape Town.
