So it’s a year since we were heading to Brazil for the 2014 World Rafting Champs.

Thinking back on it there were a few surprises on that trip!

Capybara

•Rodents the size of large dogs! The Capybara could often be seen snuffling around on open fields.

•No one was allowed to stand around with shirts off at Itaipu canal – so disappointing!
•So little English spoken at tourist spots!
•Soft toilet seats that go “pfffft” when you sit on them.
•Ladies doing some pretty provocative dancing on stage – but not being allowed into the disco with sleeveless tops or sandals on ….

But there were also some non-surprises:
•They take the “manana” attitude of South America to a whole new level!
•Milan received the most hugs and kisses :)

I wonder what surprises we will find in Indonesia this year!
