they had a variety of ages with the girls.. some older ones that were dressed like the "Grand Pooba" ...

their dresses were magnificent...

guys entertaining with musical instruments were sensational... drum band, acrobats, bizarre instruments I've never even seen before :o ... they were fantastic!!

we were on a business trip back around 2006 I think it was.. flew out of Melbourne to Sydney... transfer to Sydney international and fly to New Zealand... you have to get off the plane while refuelling and then back on again an hour later... in the mean time you have to go through customs etc.. ::) ... once back on the plane you fly though to ummm Buenos Aires... then... get on another connecting flight to Porto Alegre...

all up around 26 hours to our motel... from Sydney to NZ we had this sulking little bastard that wouldn't shut up a few seats back... >:( ... so we had hoped that he didn't get back on... but he did.. he fricken sulked and moaned all the way to Buenos Aires ... the passengers were on the verge of killing the little bastard and his parents >:(

but get this.. the woman had a go at the flight staff on the way off that they should of helped her with her whinging little bastard of a son... ::) omg

Hmmm, more for me - I'll be coming from Perth.

It's in 4 weeks' time: doubt if I could get a flight now.

Really interested though.

it was a lot quicker on the return flight... they get in jet streams of wind going hundreds of kmph... it was only 14 hours back to NZ from memory...

coming into south America after the sun had gone down and back up again... you fly over the Andes Mountains.. just incredible...

Stop tempting me.

I'll be at my travel agent's desk on Monday morning.

Four weeks out, I'm guessing the fares will be expensive.

Still, I'm gonna check it out (have a trip planned for Europe around April, but I wouldn't mind squeezing in Rio before that).

this would have to be one of the most amazing places in South America

Iguacu Falls... although it seems to have a few different ways to spell it..

make sure you are on an organised tour if you go to RIO... it's dangerous.. but magnificent..

this is our chopper ride off Sugar Loaf Mountain - I think it was called.. and over Christ the Redeemer.. you go up there in cable cars (two stages) and then fly off the first mountain.. they are in the sea

The top? For a moment I thought she had a bulge in her g-string. Still not sure.

Amazing pics and thank you for sharing.

Awesome, but not as pretty as the Mechanics.

(don't know if it will work, as I am trying to convert a 10 meg pic to an FD size)

The big Chicks footprint is in the centre, her prey is the small three toed birds. I have attempted to invert the imprint so as to highlight the detail, turns out OK for 70 mill years old. Still not as good as the Grease Monkey, will attempt to do better.
