Our first blog entry! We`ve obviously all made it. Pretty hassel free flight, no issues Heathrow end, the second flight was a bit mediocre but thats what you get for getting the cheapest flight to Brazil I guess!
Hostel is lush, decent bed, seems to be lively too. Generally seems like a good atmosphere. Todays activities: getting the wrong bus (although it said Ipanema on the front, I reckon it would have got us near to out hostel!) Anyway ended up in the centre of Rio trying to find the Metro... only 1 quid so beats the Underground by a country mile. Got to the hostel, grabbed some bread cheese and fruit from the supermarket and chilled out for a bit. Then we went to Ipanema Beach. It is awesome! Good waves, lots going on and cool atmosphere. If you look down the water edge you could see hundreds of footballs in the air... never seen so many people play keepie uppies! After me and Dave played in the waves for a bit we went for a stroll in an attempt to find beer! Got a fresh corn on the cob on route and sat down for the world`s coldest beer on the edge of the beach. It was an awesome place, great views, a little gym and volleyball court next to it. We just sat and watched the world go by!
Now we are just off for dinner... we are thinking of going to the lake behind the hostel. Grab a few beers then have an earlyish night, we`ve all got sleep to catch up on.
Going to head to Santa Theresa tomorrow and Sugar Loaf in the evening for sunset hoepfuly! We may upload some photos tomorrow, if not definately before we leave for Iguazu on Saturday.
Miss you all,
Much love from Alex, Dave, Pickett and Carly
