Brazil - the fifteenth and final country on our journey. We spent a week in the Pantanal, a few days in Brasilia, a week in & around Salvador and another week travelling down the coast to Rio. Our friends Ali and Kiz flew out to join us in Salvador. 

After a final farewell, we flew back to LHR on the 28th May 2005.
