BRAZIL | Friday, 10 June 2011 | Views [383] | Comments [2]

We arrived at the surf and stay, in recreiro, down the coast of Rio. It~s a small little hostel with a couple of love shacks as they call it and some dorms. It looks very cosy and it has a hammock out in front. So i~m happy.

It took a long time to find a sim card for Graham phone, and it turns out we can~t use it for international calls... You would think someone would tell you whe you buy it, but hey. sorry mum and dad, you have to wait a little longer so.

So we got here a little later then we hoped we would. And as the time passed the boys(as we just picked up Ronan from his hotel were he was because of his work) started to look more and more like two junky~s despareta for their fix. So I offerd to check in for us so they could had of to catch some waves.

So here i am, looking at what resembles most a big school of frog spawn. At first I could not recognise Graham from all the other surfers. But he just look his shirt of, so it~s not a problem at all anymore. The sunscreen I got at the wedding had been in use. Thanks again Mr Jonhnston!

It~s nice and calm around here.Not so much trafic. Just the sound of the waves. As I sit here drinking out of a cocnut which is remarkable nice and refreshing. They chill them here and people just drink it here on the side of the road. Notting reminds me moreabout beeing on holliday then drinking from a coconut.

Hey everyone,

it's nice to read you are all enjoying and having a great time. Loes are you also going to try to surf a bit? I just showed your wedding pictures to our Grannies and they loved it. How is the food and the drinks beside the coconut you had? You guys haven't got ill yet?

Greetings,

Sien
