It took me a while till i found anything. We had hoped to find a superman t-shirt that I could then edit to add 'super gringo' on it. They only had baby sizes and although I was all up for the fun of Carnaval a baby sized t-shirt was just a step too far for me.
As a result of a sexual remark on his first day, Jens picked up a pirate outfit as well as a beer helmet - such a good purchase for £6. The girls varied: Cindy, a nurse, got a nurses outfit. Sassy got yellow wings and a wig and I think Tilda got the same. I'm having to edit one of my own t-shirts to make a superman logo, but I did purchase a mask and Viking helmet - not to mention the greatest purchase of all: a two litre sized pineapple that is designed to cocktails, this baby is going to Machu Pichu, the gallopogos, Christ, the lot!
When we arrived back at Catete we saw a pair of gringos in search of a hostel - with my 16-bed dorm having just me and Jens I told them there was most definitely a place to sleep after their 39/48 hours on a bus journey! They were really cool, Bart was a Dutch guy in his 20s who was the image of a south American traveller. He'd met Leanna ('it's Leanna, just remember Leanna-banana') who is from Texas and 23. She had quit her job to do all this. He'd been travelling with his girlfriend and the two met and decided to start travelling together as his girlfriend returned home in Peru. Her last message to Leanna you ask: 'Just keep an eye on him!'
I spent the night at the cocktail bar upstairs after I made my dinner and was chatting with the two about their travels and they got me excited about it all. We had planned on going out with all the brazilians, and I am really gutted that I didn't in the end (I was pooped and when I was denied an energy drink by Luciana I was done for the night). Oh well, now I was charged for Friday - the day when Carnaval gets crackalackin!
Also it meant I could Skype Nath on out anniversary which I'm sure put me in the good books.
