Arrival in Brazil
Had written a great chapter on our arrival last night on the hotel computer only to lose it all as it timed out. Glorious day here and will spend it lounging on the beach and doing a final gear check. Meet up with 7 others last night briefly and will catch up with them tonight. This place is so much like Fiji as is everything runs in slow and relaxed mode. Getting rather excited now. One of the Aussie girls had arrived with no luggage probably still in Australia she thinks. Being a smart girl she has all her racing gear with her so will still compete just lacking extras for her weeks stay after the race. All the girls appear to be doing the long race and still to meet one more.
WiFi very hard to obtain so this is from my phone. Will endeavour to send a short update each day.
Currently have no electricity until lunchtime but who cares least I had a warm shower. We are off to the beach.
