So all carnaval festivities have finished =( Last night was the last night of the carnaval in Rio. So I won’t be dribbling on any more about my escapades after the sunhas well and truly gone down.
In other news: We shifted hotels today and Penny is here!!!! Albeit a bit dusty and flat batteries! She is here. A huge weight off our shoulders just to see her again and running like she should. Today marked the beginning of our next chapter. The beginning of 43 odd days with the 28 other teams on the rally. Farewell to the relaxed-carefree-holiday-mode-James and hello to James-the-Driver.
Today will be a drivers briefing and scrutineering and tomorrow we have a 45km trial run and then Saturday we finally pull out of Rio and head for the wilderness that they call Brazil!
It looks like I am the youngest on this rally by at least 2 score and 10. I don’t even know what that means but I think it is a lot of years =P That’s ok, I’ll bring a bit of youth to the table, show them how things are done.
Lets get ready to rummmmbbbllleeeee.

You do need to check your maths on the “two score and 10” bit!!
Have a great trip.
