Disintigration

Well, it had to happen sometime. Travelling in a confined space with a few other people, you´re bound to get on each others nerves now and again. As I said a while ago, I was pretty suprised it hadn´t happened sooner.

But now, gaps are growing between some factions in the group, although to be fair, everyone is still talking to one another (hasn´t always been the case recently), and there´s a friendly veneer still extant. I think the nearness of the end of the trip is making people think ´oh well, it´s nearly over, may as well keep friendly for now`.

Not sure who I´ve been annoying, but I´m sure it´s someone.

Anyhow, it´s certainly not all gloom and doom. We´re in a place called Iguacu, where there are some tremendous waterfalls. Went on a helicopter ride over them yesterday, then trekked up to them, and tomorrow we´re off on a boat trip up the river to see under them.

It is stinking hot here! It was 40°C when we arrived, with humidity to match. A huge storm last night cleared the air a bit, but it´s still around 30-35°C. Sheesh, the things I have to put up with eh?

All of your christmas presents are in the post, but, what with the nature of the Brazillian post office, I´m afraid I can´t guarentee arrival times.
