Brazil Braaaaaaaaazil...

Today I discovered I'm off to Brazil the week before Christmas. I did ask for the specific location of our trip seeing as it is the 5th largest country, by land mass, in the World (I do have a Geography degree you know...). I'm hoping its Rio and not Manus (2,000 miles away in the jungle). Never been to South America and happy to do so (so long as I'm back for Christmas) and it's another continent ticked off. I almost have the full collection which everyone knows is 7 (seven). For some reason one person, that I was talking to only yesterday, thought there were only 5 (five). I mean come on. 5? I'm pretty sure they thought Canada, North America & indeed South America were one continent. I know I know - I was speechless too....

Looking forward to playing football on the Copacabana
