Strange signs from our trip......

We've observed a few strange signs along the way on our trip over the past year.


This was a common one on buses in Rio, where people in certain seats are encouraged to give up their seats e.g. elderly people or people with babies.  Some of the categories may be a little harder to discern than others though, so be careful when offering your seat for the first category in case you upset somebody......


We saw this on the mountain train from Curitiba. Given the number of tunnels, its probably not bad advice, even if it appears slightly obvious.





Here's one that Louis saw in the bus terminal at Sao Paolo, probably a good place to go if you need a packet of Rennies.







For those of you who wondered what happened to Smashie and Nicey, they are alive and well in Ihla do Mel, in Brazil.......











This sign, in Ubatuba, North of Sao Paolo, was a great idea to help you cross the road.  It basically had a countdown from 45 seconds every time it was the pedestrian's turn to cross the road.  Never did find out what the Fat Lab building was though, even though we walked past it a few times.......


In Argentina, on the way to the Perito Moreno Glacier, we wondered whether our little hire car would cope with the road ahead.......

In Kuala Lumpur, we were on the hunt for dinner with the Guanos, here's one of the places we avoided. 

Here's an example of one of the meals there that we DIDN'T try.


Apologies for the schoolboy humour.......but we are travelling with two schoolboys!!

  1. Love these - laughed out loud. I've really enjoyed reading about your travels and seeing your photos, especially Louis and Frankie's posts.

    Looking forward to hearing all about it when we see you.
