Tilly, Derek, Conor & Jack´s World Tour!

Hey Eve-rybody,

This one is a bit long, we´ll try to make it shorter next time, hit the subscribe button to the right to keep up-2-date with our updates.

We have finally left Rio after 7 days, couldn't leave the place its class, or as the brazillians say, its class! Conors reversey birthday meant a spot of hangliding over Rio with Sam, followed by some futvolei, where the "conor magee experience featuring jack" beat the brazillian kids, yes they were kids but they beat their brains out. Tilly killed a $110 dollar volleyball because it was looking at derek funny! the bus that it landed under seemed to think so too!

We had two visits to the maracana stadium, the biggest in the world. Firstly we took the bus down to a match in the Copa Libertadores (SA Champions league) between Fluminese (our new team) and Libertadas from Paraguay. The atmosphere was shit hot and the fans were LOCO !!! Beers were 50p and our outfits at the end of the game had changed from conservative neutral colours to Fluminese sleveless t-shirts. Next day we went back with our tour guide Tony to do the tour of the stadium, where we had some lift fun and saw the queens and the popes chairs.

"At the Copa, Copacabana, the hottest spot North of Havana" - it was crap! real sleazy, we were offered handbags followed by cocaine as we turned the corner. So us gringos(tourists) just headed back to our home of Ipanema. Spent that night hanging out with a Charity Dingle lookalike and her mate Zoe, ended up in emporium again, the coppers of Rio.

Our third attempt at being on time for the favella (the lower roselawn of rio) tour worked a treat. We took motorbikes up to the top of the favella, which was top notch, then strolled through the slums, stopping halfway down for some hang blaa's. Jack met his first born in a day care centre (he later met his second born outside a bank) i.e. they had really curly hair.

There were Ballygunner and Superfriends supporters everywhere, jack even had the kids singing for the Superfriends. The kids were laughing at tillys jersey because waterford are never gonna win the championship. We also did our bit for charity with the kids up there, but we dont like to talk about it.

Our mingling ability in the hostel was increasing all the time, talking to austalians about pugwall. We taught the english lads (Ed and Andy) how to use the word horse in a waterfordish fashion, by swapping every noun and verb with horse... aka. Well horse, horse over that horse to me horse. Ed then pushed Tilly in the pool to everyones amusement, he might be a distant relative of quinno.

Tilly is now a bird expert after spotting after spotting that the birds around the beaches have a split tail like those in the sparrow family. Conor is in love for the 4th time. We played groin curbs again, similar to traditional curbs except its in a pool and you sit straddling the curb for the extra element of danger.

We played drinking games with the Ozzie boys and added a couple of irish rules and went to the street party area called Lapa, where everyone is drinking and smoking at the petrol stations. We then hit a Samba club and Conor tried some of his new moves. On the way home we got one of these taxi/van things which you share with other people and scream your destination out the window to get more people... it was awesome!

We have also started to use "Obrigado" (meaning thank you) for eveything, Conor accidently hit a girl with the ball yesterday and then thanked her. We met a girl with an english accent from Denmark with the worst phone ever made, Anna. We also met a real life lesbian. The next night Conor was trying to teach Amanda, a professional dancer, how to Samba. Tilly ran in to the other Emma from Bray again (not emma nelson). A guy called Raz from Oz has the same sleeping problems as Conor.

We hiked up the first stage of Suger Loaf through the jungle which took 2 attempts, the first attempt was a bit like Lost. The cable car helped us up the second stage and we accidently ran into a Bar Mitzvah. After another drinking session at a petrol station we went to a Favela Funk party. The drink was only 66c a can and although it was meant to be hard knocks we had a great time, tops off and everything.

Derek learnt a disturbing handshake from his new brazilian friends and somehow we all managed to find the bus home. Probably the best night so far. The next morning we had a little pool party with the swedes before getting a couple of massages. We then decided that we weren´t going to leave Rio until we managed 20 headers in a row in the pool.

We got to Willy´s (Dereks uncle) after a 9 hour bus ride and since then we haven´t stopped tippin away at the beer since. After being burnt to a crisp at thier local beautiful beach his father-in-law Orlando treated us to a screening of the Liverpool Vs Arsenal match. Derek took his first steps towards leaning how to swim by... learning how to float.
