Home sweet home

We are finally back in Germany at my parents house and managed to arrive in time for my mum's birthday which was the best present we could have given her. Very happy day!

It is wonderful to be in a home with family, clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, unlimited delicious home-cooked food and all the comforts we missed for 8 months. Big sigh!
I was so looking forward to fitting tight clothes again but all my clothes are way too big now, snif! But I am sure it is a matter of weeks if we stay with my mum, and I will fill my jeans out again sooner than I think! Am very much looking forward to a beauty treatment tomorrow to get me back into civilised condition...

Our last few days getting out of the Amazon and into Sao Paulo involved a lot of sitting on boats (7 hrs on a canoo and then 30 hrs on a speedboat) and then a few incredibly hot days in ugly dirty Manaus and a short flight to Sao Paulo.

We are back safe and sound with all our luggage which is amazing and everything went very smoothly. If you want to get hold of us you can call on the following numbers:
