Today we got up and got ready for our favela tour, only to find that by mistake we had been cancelled. A group of lads had cancelled their tour that morning and we were cancelled with them in error. We became friends with the lads- Tony, Ross and michael and ended up on the beach with Tony. The day was beautiful and the beach was so crowded. Unfortunately, Anika and I guided Tony to the gay section of the beach (we hadnt realised until it was too late!) Wow... we saw live scenes of homosexual intimacy and Tony was not impressed with us at all! Ooops..

In the evening, the entire hostel was going out to a favela party. The organised version of this was cancelled so the tourists at the hostel decided to go on their own. Anika, Tony and Michael were not keen due to fears of getting shot by machine guns so we didnt end up going. Instead, we all sat in a bar and had a right laugh. Around two in the morning Michael and Ross decided to hit the sack so we went on to a club with Tony. Got home around 4.30. Was a good night.
