When we took the boat from Rio to Ilha Grande all of these things got completely piss wet on account of the torrential downpour. Having been tossed about on a tempestuous sea for the best part of 2 hours we were just relieved to still have our lives (and our breakfasts). But the rain fell on the jungle for days and nothing got any less wet. Everything in this picture wa soaked for nearly a week and smelled like eau de wet dog. Now, in Uruguay and having finally laundered all our threads, the sensation is something else. The flies have lost interest in circling us and the damp doggies no longer take us for their own. Despite our current luxury, the perrenial problem remains - how can one make five pairs of pants last three weeks? Sunday, 21 March 2010
The contents of our backpacks
