The impossible is possible, and we are in paradise!
From Rio we headed twoards Paraty, a sweet colonial village with loads of cosy restaurants and bars. Checked out the possibility to take the diving certificate there. It was possible, but we ended up going already the next day to Ihla Grande. And we are sure we made a good choice! This is paradice!
So saturday evening we came here, found a room in a pousada (bed and breakfast) run by a german, who has been travelling for 27 years, and finally found peace here. Started the theory class Saturday evening. Sunday we went hiking in the forest, heading twoards a beach called Lopes Mendes, rated as one of the worlds 10 prettiest beaches. It was so great, there is no words to describe... Miles and miles of white powdersand! Even 3 hours walk in heat and humid air was worth it!
Monday (yesterday) it was time to practice diving for the first time. Oh my god!
Was a bit scared, the thought of breathing under water was frightening, but I was determined to do it. After 2 hours of practicing in shallow water I was ready. Did 2 dives, the last one for 40 minutes, as deep as 9 meeters! So it is true - the impossible is possible! Must say I am quite proud of my self! And beeing down there was a dream come true. So much to see, and so much to discover! I herby recommend it!
Took the theory test last night, and was ment to go for the two last dives this morning. But today it is quite windy here, so the water is not so clear and bright. Will see how it develops during the day, but might take the dives tomorrow morning instead. No matter what happens, I will leave this island with a certificate that allows me to dive for the rest of the trip - so there will probably be diving in Malaysia and Vietnam!
So... Many of you probably wonder why I suddenly started blogging in English...
Rasmus has still not gotten around to send out a mail to his friends letting them know about this site. But he is doing it now, as I write. So that everyone should have the possibility to understand, this was written in English. Can´t promise I will do it every time, but then maybe Rasmus has to get around and write some as well. Have to apollogise my English, haven't been writing in this language in a long, long time...
Think this was it for this time. Take care everyone, hugs and kisses from your travelling friends!

Gjett kven eg traff på Mono i helga? Stikkord: Han likar sau, har ein spesiell touch-metode og er opptatt av at barn skal ha det bra på tv.
Supert å lese oppdateringane dine og følge med! Lykke til vidare på ferda!
Skoa dine er litt trange heilt med ein gong, men når vi kjem inn mot desember reknar eg med at eg har fått gått dei litt ut ;)
Well done Rasmus,
Da er dere ute og reiser og slipper å slite her hjemme i kalde Norgeø. Akkurat vært ute i mørket i ca. -2 grader og trillet lille Mikkel (2 uker nå og begynner å anta pluggform).
Neste mandag (når dere antageligvis dasser bortover en hvit strand med en øl i hånda) begynner jeg i ny jobb som prosjektleder i ZTE. Vet ikke helt hva jeg skal mene om det, men pe'eng må'n ha ser'u!!!!
God tur videre. Husk å sende mail så jeg har noe morsomt å lese immelom alle slagene om å bygge siter....
Vegard
PS. Igazu var storveis. Patanal var også stort. Der fanget vi alligatorer med hendene...
Hallo Anemor!
For en kjempefin blogg, helt fantastisk å følge dere på tur! Synes ikke dere virker så langt unna nå...
Er opp 06.30 hver morgen og krysser E6'n på Buran på holkeføre på vei bort til skyssen min på Møllenberg. Turen opp til Klæbu går på glatte veier, med snøbelagt Vassfjell i horisonten.
Stefano sovner på kveldene mens han mumler noe om at gullet er kommet hem, og det er ikke meg han snakker om. Vi har to kasser med Hansa gull-øl på soverommet som sirlig skal porsjoneres ut over det neste året til festlige anledninger og besøk.
Stor Klem til dere begge to,
fra Line og Stefano
