had such an amazing few days....
sat night we went out into lapa, which is where all the brazillians go (we went with bernado-the guy who works at the hostel and then some other hostel guests). The place had such an amazing atmosphere, it was just one crazy street party! Sampled caiprinhas from some Rasta street bar and danced in a Funk club!!
Sunday Morning we did the Favela tour which was amazing, and a insight into a completely different part of Rio! The place was no where near as bad as I expected though, people have proper flats rather than the huts in South Africa. There is electricty, internet, phone lines and internet is starting to appear! We didnt see any drug dealing or guns which I thought was dissapointing haha! Felt really safe in it too, obv we were with a guide but people were friendly and spoke what English they could!
Yesterday afternoon we went up Sugar Loaf mountain to see the sunset, which made the sky all pretty colours. You get an amzing view of the City! Which is hugeeeee!!!
Today we have been to the beach, the weather was gorgeous and we had a whale of a time messing around in the waves which are mental!! You dont actually need to leave the beach for anything, there are people coming round selling you everything, drinks, food, suncream, clothes. So we ad a great big fat slice of watermelon which was gorgeous!!!
Heading to the supermercado now and probably out tonight!!
Loads of Love xxxxx
