Thursday 25 July The last week has been unfortunately eventful. On Sunday I took a short bus ride over the Brazilian border to Foz Iguassu and caught a plane to Rio. Marvelously i was met at the airport and was soon installed in my downtown hotel for the next few days. I went out for a walk in the afternoon. I remember having a nice meal at a cultural centre near the centre and wandering about a bit more. But then I only remember waking up in hospital with a bad head. It appears that somewhere I was attacked or fell and was brought into hospital by the tourist police. I spent the next few days in hospital looking at my head injuries. i spent a lot of the time sleeping and have no recollection of what happened. Somehow someone got word to Owen and he contacted his friend Luijaunna who came round to see me. So did the British consul.
Yesterday I came out of the hospital and today i went to see a specialist who says i cannot fly as my head injuries are too weak and the air pressure may cause a problems. he gives no idea how long it will take. This is so frustrating as i´m so looking forward to coming home- due next weekend; It means changing my flight from tomorrow to Buenos Airies and possible changing my flight next Friday from BA to London;
To add insult to injury I am now having trouble accessing my email! Need less to say I´ve not seen much of Rio yet. I´ll do my best to sort thsi otherwise its just the blog site.

Hi Paul
We are so sorry to hear of your misfortune in Rio!
Hope you recover soon, and that it doesn't mar your adventure too badly.
We leave for France on Monday but if there is anything we can do to help let us know.
Hope to see you fit and well in September at the Stoop!
Best Wishes
Ian and Anita
Sorry to hear of your mishap. Have sent you an email but in case you don't get it just to let you know we're thinking of you, not that it takes this to happen to think of you! Take care. Look forward to seeing you home.
Love
Heather, Paul etc.
We add to the sorry comments made. We've also been in Rhyl, so saw Dennis, Janet and Joyce, along with the usual. Fortunately your news didn't seem to age your Mum at all, who seems to look younger all the time.
Looking forward to seeing you when you arrive home, whenever that my be. We're home (round & about) all August - a few bits in September.
Jessica, Dave & family, who've also been concerned.
