hi guys,
well carnival started last night... wow its a whole new kinda crazy! within 20 mins we were trampelled on and lost most of our group we had gone out with and janines sandle broke!!!! But we came back to the hostel changed into trainers and more suitable clothes and went back out ready to party! It was boiling hot, although it starterd raining at about 3am and had thunder as well! No ending at 7pm like notting hill... more like 8am this morning! Av, Edi and steph we did you proud and took plastic bottles with us! The good thing is the hostel is so close to everything we can run back and use the toilet and stuff although they have lots of port-a-loos around but don´t even wanna try them! There is so many peple here for carnival plus all th locals from all over Brazil so there is just a sea of people all around. They have like little backpacks you can buy which you put drink in and there is like a big plastic straw coming out of it! Such a great idea, constant supply of drink! I´ll get one to bring back for carnival!! The locals also have plastic batons which they hit each other with & as they all think we´re locals we got lots of hits!
So we were supposed to leave our original hostel to change to the one we booked way back in September through hostel world, but when we went up there to check it out the day before we were supposed to move in there was a problem (just our luck!) All the bookings made through hostel world had not gone through properly and the hostel had no rooms for us all! there were about 15 people in the same situation. So we looked around at a few apartments that were dives and also look at a few other hostels/pusadas but we ended up just changing to a dorm in the original hostel. Its cool though. We have air con a private bathroom and its just with 4 other females. We are sharing with 2 girls from Liverpool!
We have also done all the tourist sights and museums so all we have left to do is check out a few beaches and enjoy the carnival! We have set up a skype account so we will try and ring home more and if you have it too then look us up (its under my name)!
