Sadly my camera died on me in the first 10 minutes of my first plane, (and I still have no batteries.) So, my plan of making the most amazing video documentation of my 24 hour journey did not become a reality.
So just to fill you in:
- I didn't get stopped at any country for having 'potential swine flu' (result!)
- I made a Brazilian friend on my Switz-Brazil flight and we basically understood each other! (Portuguese is my next language to conquer, so it was good practice!)
- My scheduled flight from Brazil to Argentina had seemed to disappear. This meant I had a few hours in Sao Paolo airport- one of the most boring airports in the world- attempting to stay awake by watching the World Championships in Athletics, or to be more precise... Speed walking!!! That is one bizzare sport. if you wanted to know a Russian guy - - won.
- We flew over the Amazon river, you could even smell it from inside the plane. I can't describe HOW amazing all the landscapes are, how flat the land is (around the cities at least), and how huge South America is! It was so surreal to actually be seeing it!
- And finally I arrived!
Tomorrow morning I'm getting picked up by Ale and Lali-the Pastors whom I'm working for, and then I shall find out more about what I'll be doing!
Not much else has happened yet, well I'm a bit tired to take anything in, but I'm loving it here...they have amazing food!!! hehe.
I think it's sleepy time now. It's only 9.45 here but, as my laptop is telling me, it's almost 2 in 'real time'.
You will get more interesting blogs in the future, I promise!
Love y'all, Polpol
