Back in Glasvegas after a storming year of 20 + countries, 5 continents, no idea howe many amazing sites and some of the best times of my life. But then all good things have to come to an end and it was time to get back to the really real world!

Just want to thank all the people that i met along the way and the people that have been following my world tour via bebo and blogspot. Been wild and plan to be doing a shorter, more compact trip in 18 to 24 months time.

Laters,

Fucking hell what an end to an otherwise amazing trip. First decided to pull an all nighter before flight as was under impression is was at 9:45. Then got left at the favella party by the transport and had to make own way home with lots of Brazilians abusing me most of the way. Then got to the aiport only to find that flight doesnt even check in will 11!

Now wandering round the fecking airport like a zombie trying to stay awake. Me thinks that the valium will not be needed for the trip home!

Right have to go as this is literally costing me an arm an a leg!

Me!

Fecking hell, Rio is beginning to take its toll. The parties here are fairly awesome but reckon BA is still top. Been on the beach most days trying to get tan sorted before heading home. Been up the Christ hill statue thing and did a favella tour. Quite a bit of drinking (obviously) and taught the hostel arrogance (best drinking game in the world) but paid the price as was very unlucky that night! Wierd a tomorrow is my last full day of travelling. Hopefully the sun is going to be out and will try and get some hanggliding done before heading off to the footy then a favella club. But if you get a chance come to Rio. Beautiful city, safe as far as i have seen and very cool sexy people. Something for the girls as well as all the boys walk round in teenie tiny speedos. Have managed to avoid buying any but reckon dad might want a new set!

The Brazilian side of the falls was nice and far more panaramic as the Argentinian side but not as iompressive. Had a few sherberts in the evening but had to get up at 3.30 for flight up to Rio. Now here and just checked into the Mighty Mellow Yellow which seems to be the best hostel. Met some cool people and Ami from Salavador just arrived last night which was nice. Had a fairly quite one as was well tired but did take part in the Capoeira (dance fighting) that the hostel had put on and kicked ass. Well maybe not kicked ass but certainly held my own better than the others. Was wicked and want to have another go.

Beach action is the order of the day today and maybe some more sleep prior to heading out on the inevitable lash tonight. Rio is prob a good place to end the trip[ although my liver and kidneys might not agree.

Oh but did manage to squeeze in the BIG MAN as he is known or the statue of Jesus. Another very impressive site and was a wicked day so views over Rio were immense. So before you condem my last stop as a purly party venue I am trying to do some other things!

Wow, just back from the Argentinian side of the falls and they totally blew my away. Off to Brazilian side tomorrow to check them out. Lots of blue sky, rainbows and butterflies. Took the usual zillions of pics and have some amazing one. had a bit of a stressful moment when I got there and my camera started coming out with error messages but managed to fix it :)

Will try and get some pics uploaded from the last month in Rio as been really slack due to very slow internet in last few places. But rest assured when i get back all the pics will be up and will put the best onto bebo and facebook.

More tomorrow party people!
