Yo Dudes!
So,its been a couple of days and we r utilising the last of our free internet access we have so enjoy!
Sunday / was possibly hottest day we hav had, just melting on Ipanema beach - the tranquil version of copacobana! Also an embarrasing encounter with some 17 year olds left us slightly wary! Left early eve to check out the hippy market- carnival practice time in Rio meant it was buzzing with different bands and dancers - the most colorful thing you hav ever seen!
Back to the hostel which is running short on water at the mo, for a quick shower & then a Capoeira show put on by the Favela kids which was truly amazing - the kids were so fast and when they brought out the knives sparks began to fly! Followed by a FAVELA FUNK PARTY! a big sweaty pit (no joke- worse than the K back in the day!) in possibly the most random building- no windows, fireworks going off every five minutes - slightly dangerous but fun nevertheless! Managed to find a few locals to show us the moves- soph took to it no problem but i got a few stares!
Monday - Started out with great weather so we booked our tour to the Big Man looking over RIO! However, obviously the GODS were not with us as storms headed over and we had to leave before sunset! Great views tho! - apologies for the descriptions and no pics - as soon as we find a computer that is compatible we will put them all on!
Hope you are all well,
Lotsa luv xxxxxx
