South America Fastworwarded: a Most Excellent Adventure
aka. our excursion to the world of caipirinhas,
cervezas and hammocks
Did some backpacking in Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador and Mexico for 5 weeks.
The road took us from sunny Rio to the mighty waterfalls of Foz de Iguaco
to moist jungles of Amazon, up river in a bananatown in Columbia,
to beaches of crystalline white sand on the Galapagos island and finally
to Mexico, where we took part in our friend Andreases wedding. All in all
a great trip which I hope to resume next year by checking out Venezuela,
Uruguay and Peru!
