Rio Rio Rio lovely rio. This city is amazing! I would say its like London next to the beach, with a moutain backdrop and a massive forest right slap bang in the middle. Oh it hot hot hot as well.
we´ve done so much since we got here. we kicked off with a bit of hand gliding!!! soaring over rio like a bird. i defo s*** myself when I ran off the platform but as soon as I was in the air it was cool. You could see everything, the christ redeemer, mountains, the mansions below and the favela on the hill! You are supposed to hang on but my husband was too busy waving to me and doing superman poses for the camera!!!
We´ve been to the world famous Cococabana beach, which was nice. Mum made us laugh because at first she was giving everyt begger money and talking to all the people selling stuff. after about half an hour of constent attention she started saying she felt harrassed!
We have been staying in Santa Terasa which is like party central during carnival. we can walk to the sambadrome and there have been Bloco´s (street parties) every day for the past few days.
If you come to Rio check out the juice bars they are too good.
Staying in a hostel you get loiads of tips from other travelers. We were advised to do the sights on our own rather than on a trip. But mum was adament we needed to do the trip to get the history. i did warn her we not get any history but she didnt believe me. so we did a trip and it was CRAP!. our very camp guide was too busy chatting men up to be bothered with us. we only got 30min at the christ so had to take our pictures very quickly! the best thing about the trip was the look on mums face. JOKE!!!
I have to go now so i´ll do more about rio later xxxxxxxxxxxxx
