30/01 Arrived in Rio, met up with gerson and started on the beers straight away! went to copacabana beach and had lunch in a nice restaurant with Gerson and some of his mates. Had a really nice mixed grill platter with sides of rice, chips and black beans. Walked all along the beach and went on the ferris wheel allowing you to see all over the beach front and beyond. ..great views....still on the beer!
