Porto Alegre & Florianopolis


Porto Alegre & Florianopolis

Holidays are glorious, especially when you get to travel from city to city in this beautiful country. After a few hot and humid days in Cuiaba, it was great to escape to the relative chill of Porto Alegre.Of course, we were here for the Australia vs. Netherlands match. We went in ...

Cuiaba


Cuiaba

We're waiting at Brasilia airport for the next flight to Porto Alegre for the next World Cup match for Australia. So far Brazil has been wonderful, with plenty of very friendly people despite/because-of (?) the language barrier. Everyone is helpful and happy to answer our silly ...

Small things


Small things

The work week can sometimes drag can't it? It's only Tuesday but already I'm counting down till the weekend again. Times like these, I need to be grateful of the small, and not so small things, and really stop and smell the roses (or the home-cooked food in this case). Yep, ...

Loving lazy Sundays


Loving lazy Sundays

I love lazy Sundays where you don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. Sleeping in is allowed, and thinking about work of any kind is forbidden (until at least 9pm at night). Of course, my capacity to sleep in has been greatly diminished by work. The all-too-often ...
