We drove to nazca to see the nazca lines. Dad said he wasn’t coming on the plane over the nazca lines! Mum thought he was just being silly but after the flight I wish I had been with dad.

I went a little deeper to swim properly and quickly realised it was very hard going to get back. It is known for its dangerous rip tides. We all got knocked over and sucked under by the waves in the shallows resulting in grazed knees. Rio is so full of energy and diversity. All shapes, sizes, ages, colours and creeds of people hang out at the beach. The one thing everyone has in common is how little clothing i...
