Bjorn Borgs Journey Home to Norway - Part 2

Dear Inge,Sorry I haven't contacted you sooner. I hope you haven't been worried about me. I've actually been having an amazing time! Last weekend I took a short trip to Amsterdam which was wonderful! I took an insightful walking tour of the city, before heading off to find a smart shop. Marcus and Erin encouraged me to try the mushrooms. I was a bit hesitant at first, but thought 'when in Amsterdam' hey! After spinning out at how everyone seemed to have skinny necks and massive heads and laughing non stop for 6 hours, I made my way to the red light district for a look. Too my surprise (and pleasure) I managed to come across some ladies of the Bjorg variety........need I say more!I hope you're enjoying your South American travels. I still feel sad about how are trip together ended but am making the most of my solo travels in Europe before our long awaited reunion in Norway. Oh how I look forward to cupping your family jewels once more!Your one and only,Bjorn xx

Bjorn Borgs journey home to Norway - Part 1

As some of u know i managed to forget my boxer and some other stuff in Brasil, an luckily my friends Erin and Marcus was kind enough to take care of it until we meet again in Norway

And until we meet again my Bjorn Borg boxers i keeping me updated on its travels:

Hi Inge,
Forgetting something??? Did I do something to upset you...rash, chafe...what? Why else would you leave me hanging all alone on the balcony at Ilha Grande? Lucky for me Marcus and Erin agreed to see me home safely. As you can see by the photos they're really looking after me. They even got me my own seat on the plane to London, not stuffed away in a backpack. And as soon as we got to London they took me to a local green and taught me this amazing football game the rest of the world needs to catch onto. They call it Aussie Rules!
Anyway, despite my disappointment in you for leaving me 'hung out to dry', I am looking forward to our reunion and giving you the support I know you need, once again.
Yours truly,
Bjorn xx

Our guide got lost and while we waited to be found by the other guide i got started a fire

Rurenbaqe and pampas

From La Paz we took a flight too Rurenbaque. a small town mainly living on tourists coming to do a jungle trek or a pamas tour on a river boat on one of the branches of the amazon river like we did! Rurenbaque is about 60m above sea level so it was great to finally breath normally and enjoy the warm moist weather! unfortunately the day we started on the pampas tour it got cloudy and and cold... so there were we in the amazon.. on the amazon in a riverboat, freezing! but luckally the next day the weather got better i we got to do some swimming with pink dolphins with crocks everywhere around us! also tried to find an anaconda but with no luck...
