Dear Norman, We have returned home safely in the Netherlands and have recovered from the exhausting but amazing trip to Rio de Janeiro. I want to thank you very much for your tips on health and safety (and food) in Rio de Janeiro. I actually ended up having to use the emergency hospital, due to an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite. I was serviced within 20 minutes and it was all resolved rather quickly. So thank you very much! Flint van der Vlist.
