Well - that's it. Too late for any last minute training! I'm all packed up and ready to go.
I'm quite excited, but a little bit nervous too. Today I'll be flying down from Manchester to London Heathrow and then spending 6 hours resting in the Yotel (look it up online!) before meeting the rest of the trekkers at 4.15am tomorrow morning. We then fly down to Oporto in Portugal, before catching a connecting flight to Rio de Janeiro. We're due to arrive in Rio at 17:45 local time (20:45 GMT) and then transfer to a hotel for one night.
On Saturday morning we have a brief coach tour of Rio, and then spend 2 hours standing on the back of a flat bed truck that will take us to the edge of the Serra da Boccaina National Park where we will stay the night ready for our first day of trekking on Sunday. On Saturday night we will get a full safety briefing and run down of the itinerary for the week from Adrian our tour leader.
I'll try to get a couple of updates posted online before Sunday - but after that, it will be very much down to whether I can get a signal in the jungle for text messages or online access.
Please let me know if you're keeping tabs on me!
Cheers
Andrew
