Hey Everyone,
Just a quick update from Rio. So , we arrived after our mammoth 25 hour journey hungry and tired. Claire and Stu however only had 1 1/2 days to see the city so we didn´t really have time to chill.
We dropped our stuff at our hostel (we decided to stay in Ipanema!) and then got a taxi to the Christs Redeemer statue. The views over Rio are absoloutely amazing and we got to see the whole ciy from up there which was pretty cool. We had time for a quick look around the city and then dinner and drinks. We ended the evening drinking beer on Ipanema beach.
Next morning, Stu and Claire got up mega early to finish their sightseeing. As me and Poo have more time we decided to stay in bed and then meet them for lunch. Not that we´re lazy. We met for lunch then it was time to take Claire to the airport. Was very sad as I don´t think she really wanted to leave!!
Stu left early next morning to fly to Santiago in Chile. Since they left, Poo and I have pretty much been chilling out really. The city is really cool. I couldn´t resist singing Copacabana in the taxi on the way in - ha ha, so cheesy. Ipanema beach is gorgeous so we´ve spent quite a bit of time there although the water is FREEZING and the waves are huge. We went yesterday with some people we met at the meeting which was nice.
Sunday we went to the Ipanema Hippie market which is fantastic! It took 4 hours to get round it but it was worth it.
Today we´re heading South to a place called Parati which has lovely sandy beaches and warm clear water apparently - can´t wait. Then Ilha Grande which is an island with lovely beaches and a huge rainforest in the middle- can´t wait.
Will update soon.
Hope you´re all coping with the cold
Lisa
