We woke up and went to Ipanema to find a hostel (we could only stay there for one night). We followed the guide and went to one street full of them not far away from the beach. Got there and all were full... Kept on walking and asking and managed to find a cheap one in the neighborhood. Buffet lunch with Bobo de camarao!! And we were ready to walk around in the beach and feel the life over here... Agua de coco, caipirinhas, tanned bodies and great views. This be...
