Our boys - all dressed up for our last night out together

Some of you may have noticed the repeat appearances of two scruffy and dishevelled 18 year olds in our photos over the last few months. Max and Ollie (or Bill and Ted as we affectionately re-named them – yes, from the movie), came into our lives on our sailing trip in Brazil, and through some odd stroke of coincidence, were also on our 17-day trip from Rio to Buenos Aires. To fully grasp the entertainment value of Max and Ollie, you need to know a few things:

They arrived in Rio for carnival and didn’t leave for 2 months. Somehow, they didn’t have time to see Christ the Redeemer or Sugar Mountain.
They did laundry twice in two months. Seriously. We’re still trying to forget the smell of those infamous shoes.
They survived on one meal per day (not including beers). One day, survived on one container of yogurt between the two of them.
In a club in Uruguay, some random woman on the dance floor decided to brush their hair
Shampoo, showers and sometimes deodorant: optional

Max and Ollie: we love you guys. Safe travels back to England. We know you’ll make it back to Rio.

They totally remind me of the “Yahoo Serious” (they had that crazy hair) French New Caledonians we trekked with in Chang Mai back in 98′.

Remember they were too stoned to ride the elephants. Then we saw them at the same massage place and later at the night club Bubbles getting their groove on…
