Quincin & Yves' Trip to Brazil 2007
In and around Brazil
After all the googling i did and all the books I read, I cannot help but feel a bit nervous about our trip to Brazil. All the concerns about malaria, poor water quality, all the muggings and scams.. and it doesn't help that we pretty much speak no Portueguese. But we will be with our friends Gabriel and Deborah who will most likely be in Rio by the time we get there, I hope Brazil will be better than what people said... fingers crossed.
So in about 3 days, we will leave for Miami for a stopover, and then here's our itinerary:
Rio De Janeiro -> Natal -> Salvador -> Manaus (the Amazon) -> Rio De Janeiro
Talk to you soon!
