A trip away

Sorry for the delay!! Beth and I disappeared the other week. There were two holidays in Rio, and due to a rather laid back way off life, nothing was go was going to happen between those two days, so we left to stay with Eduardo Beth’s husband. It was a long bus journey (6-7 hours!!), but it was defiantly worth it in the end. We just on the main land off Victoria (Victoria is a large
Island just incase you did not know.) The apartment was just across the road from the beach, so we spent most mornings laying out enjoying the sun or swimming in the sea. Beth and I also enjoyed two very good and rather big shopping malls, we went a little mad in the shoes shops. I bet Joe was glad he was away!!!! The day before we left we went to visit a small convent at the top off a mountain. We were lucky we managed to arrive in time for mass. The little chapel was beautiful it was a bit of an old Gothic style, and only very small with no chairs, but it was stunning. Then views from outside the chapel were breathtaking.

We came back mid afternoon on the Sunday ready for work on Monday. Although Beth and I wished we could have stayed a little bit longer!!
