A Very Big Trip in a Very Special Bus - Foreword

First let me introduce the band - we have Kit on lead guitar and lead vocals (basically the charge of the group), Gem on practicing guitar and can therefore only participate in the one song, Lisa, Vikki and Amy on vocals (when Amy is asleep the others take over, when Lisa is peeing the others take over and when Vikki is flapping the others take over) and John on the triangle.


Just before we begin I would like to extend some advice for those thinking of visiting Brazíl; learn portuguese, do not bring more than four friends since their seating plans rarely cater for more than four seats round a table and prepare your stomach for an inundation of cheese!


¨When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable¨ Clifton Fadiman


It is not likely that the next lot of messages will embellish this quote but hindsight is a beautiful thing!
