Got up and went down to the bar had a couple of coffee's, when everyone appeared Fokker turned up with the bus driver to take us for lunch,
Now I haven't mentioned Fokker yet but he is the brazilian guy who is responsible for looking after us during our stay in Brazil. When we were introduced to him at rthe airport a ripple of excitment went around the tour party, was there really someone called fokker?
Well yes, no word of a lie that's his name and he's a fantastic guy, very street wise really looked after us and of course no excuse to speak to him went unexploited, " hey FOKKER, what time is it here", or "OI! FOKKER where we going now" or a shout from the back of the bus "FOKKER! how long till we get there"! you get the idea, t'was brilliant fun even if that reflect's poorly on our mean mental age.
We all really liked fokker, great guy, he knew someone everywhere.
