Canoa Quebrada - Canoa Quebrada, Brazil

Canoa Quebrada, Brazil

Saturday and onto another great beach town. At the campsite the girls made some homemade caipirinhas, then some of us went into town and partied up large. Next day we went on a dune buggy adventure along the coast out to the pink sand dunes. On the way we stopped at a spot where there was quicksand and Brendan (Exodus tour leader) and I jumped in to experience it. It was weird and the guides with us told us that 5 people had died in that hole we were in. Me and a couple of the boys spent a day chilling on the beach and then went sand boarding. It wasn't as fun as Peru but we still had fun going down the dunes on a board. At the bottom of the dune was a waterhole that we would slide into. After a few days of relaxation on the beaches and checking out the sights it was time for a couple of long truck days. P

Viv Richards Cricket stadium - Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda

Next stop was the Super 8 round in Antigua. The Blackcaps took on the West Indies at the new Viv Richards stadium. I met up with the hard-drinking kiwi supporters and cheered the Blackcaps on to a convincing win over the local team. I spent the rest of the time there checking out the town and surrounding area. With my money running out quick I headed to London via Puerto Rico and New York where I am now in search of a job.

Pitons - Soufriere, Saint Lucia

Soufriere, Saint Lucia

Kroppy and his mates Mike and Emur and I went to the England/Kenya game to support the Kenyans but they had no luck from us. We hired a car and then did a couple of trips around the island. On the first day we went for about 5 swims and saw some waterfalls and went to the drive-in volcano. There we had a mud bath in the creek and covered ourselves in mud. After cleaning up we travelled further around the coast passed the Pitons. The next day we decided to climb the largest Piton. The Pitons are two large volcanic towers that rise up from the sea and stand high above the surrounding area of the island. After a couple of hours of had vertical slog in hot tropical weather, we made it to the top and celebrated by drinking a bottle of the national beer, Piton.

Gros Islet - Gros Islet, Saint Lucia

Gros Islet, Saint Lucia

Next stop was where the Blackcaps were playing their pool matches. I made the second innings of the NZ/Kenya game for the Kiwis second win. At the NZ/Canada game I met up with Brendon Kropp from summer camp and we partied in the stand with the other Kiwi supporters including the Beige Brigade. After a day of beers, rum and sunburn we headed out for the night to carry on the party from the Kiwis 3rd win. While at one of the bars, some of the Kiwi players turned up and had a few beers with us. It was cool having a few beers with Vettori, Fleming, McCullum, Patel and Oram after their successful pool games.

Georgetown - Georgetown, Guyana

Georgetown, Guyana

As I was travelling around Brazil I decided to head up to the Cricket World Cup in the Caribbean for a couple of weeks to watch the NZ Blackcaps. I missed my connection in Guyana so I spent the evening with a local guy who showed me around the crazy streets of Georgetown.

Belem - Belem, Brazil

Belem, Brazil

Then it was the end of another overland trip and the end of South America for me. I finished in the city at the mouth of the Amazon river. We went out for my birthday on the first night and I spent the next day walking around the Amazonian botanical gardens and zoo nursing a bit of a hangover. Overall my trip to South America was absolutely amazing. Over the 4 months I saw and did so many wicked things and had very few troubles at all. I definitely recommend everybody else to go even for just one month. The language is not really a problem. Just the basics can do and sign language and pointing works wonders, most of the time. It is a continent of wonders and contrasts and is particularly cheap which is always a bonus.

Ubajara NP - Ubajara, Brazil

Ubajara, Brazil

Away from the beaches we went to a couple of National parks where we went into a large cave system at Ubajara and amazing rock formations at Sete Cidades.

Praia de Pipa - Pipa, Brazil

Pipa, Brazil

Praia de Pipa, Brazil - It was then off to the real small beach towns of Brazil. At Pipa I went dolphin watching just off the surf beaches and saw several dolphins playing and chasing fish. The rest of the time was spent swimming and sun bathing and watching the marmoset monkeys playing in a tree in town. I also had my first go at surfing, ever. First go I got up on the board and surfed the wave. Admittedly it was white-water but I made it up. I surfed the white-water for another 40 minutes with mixed success and then went and recuperated afterwards with a beer or two.

Olinda - Olinda, Brazil

Olinda, Brazil

Just out of Recife we got to another colonial town. Olinda was also the first capital of Brazil. I again walked around the town looking at the buildings and churches but I was getting a little colonial-towned out so spent the rest of the day in the hotel pool.
