Dec 14th
spent day on beach because robin wants to bodyboard, was told by lifeguard to get out of the water and move down the beach as tides too dangerous where we were. Am very sad to be leaving rio tomorrow as it is such a lovely place. has everything except family.

Dec 15th
up early and packed our stuff into a cupboard at the hotel and then out for the day. it was raining so after internet cafe i went and got my nails feet and hair done. all done for about fifteen pounds and that included highlights, how far our money goes here, its great. robin went swimming in hotel pool and then we made our way to the airport for our long trek to canada. at the airport realised jim had left our only jacket in the internet cafe. well one between three in cold was not enough anyway. At the airport the man over the tannoy system was a male version of the marks and spencer voice (sexy food) and we had a very sexy voice calling out plane numbers and gates. he made us smile at every announcement.....


Dec 16th
arrived in canada about 6pm as we had quite a few delays. the american airports of atlanta and salt lake city have no decent shopping. just loads of food places. robin managed to sleep on one of the planes but they were too crowded for me to sleep. the first plane was ok but crowded then we rushed through atlanta to connection onto next plane which had no films so very boring but it was snowing and we looked forward to the film on next plane.. 3rd plane was tiny,old and falling to pieces, when the wheels went up it sounded rusty and i did not think they would come down again.....but when they did go down again we felt the air rush in....glad we are safe...it was -27 on touchdown and we have no coats or hats or gloves,,indeed just summer clothes////
