Hello again,
Well we're just about ready to leave rio for a week & head on up to salvador for some beach lounging & book reading. Been staying at the hostel impanema (which is a much nicer area than copacabana, more bars, resturants & great shops!). Its kinda like a hostel alley where loads of little hostels are grouped together - it was recommended to us by Jeff (our ozzie friend) who happens to be staying opposite us. We've been in a 4 bd dorm (our first experience of dorms) & actually its been really good. Aslo theres this old woman who lives in one of the houses at the end of the alley & she makes a living by making all the travellers caparihanas (the brazilian cocktail to die for) & they're the best I've tasted since we arrived here. I'm fast becoming a regular customer of hers!
Spent sunday trailing the hippy market with Jeff & Min (a girl off our last tour, who was also staying in this hostel area), went walking around the city yesterday, hit the beach in the afternoon (although the sun went in immediately the moment we stepped foot on it, typical!). Last night we went over to the beach market at copacabana, saw a tourism exhibiton that was going on & also the volley ball stadium which has been hosting the past weeks games for the pan am games.
Next update should be from salvador - speak to you then.
Love Kez xxx
