Nick's Travels
Hey there, still been keeping busy and reasonably active in Rio, got another 6 days before i tour sets off. I ve stayed in the same hostel as its great and the people are all so friendly. A bunch of english lads have moved into my dorm and they re pretty good fun.
Yesterday i hiked up a big mountain/huge rock thing in the Tujuca national forest. It took about 4 and a half hours up and down and involved some rock clibing/scrambling. When we got to the top we had a 360 degree view over rio and the area, it was amazing and very satisfying knowing we'd earnt every meter of it. I then went to a huge football match at the americana stadium, Flamengo a local team in the quarters of the brazilian cup. They won 4-1 and the crowd were crazy, hugging you and jumping around, it was great. I survived my first pick pocket attempt in the crowd there, noticed and stopped some old guy. Going to take it pretty easy today i think, i ve been doing and spending alot, i think i ll go down the beach and read or something. Nick x
