Its 5 am and I am sitting here with my coffee (artificial sweetner) looking out into the dark outside my windows. Summers outrageously early sunshine has all but left although its still pretty warm, however I still find myself having – what the bloody hell am I doing moments.

You'll break hearts too, [...]

Poisonous freshwater stingrays, bull sharks, piranhas, electric eels, five-metre anacondas, crocodiles, rapids, whirlpools, tidal waves, hostile native tribes and last but not least, the Candirú – aka The Vampire fish of Brazil.
