We got up early to go in the water before Sue left.I was a little hesitant to go into the water because the waves were pretty rough and sure enough I got beat up by a big wave on the way out.I got major whiplash & my neck and back hurt for days.LI was glad I went in but once was enough!After Sue left, Vanessa and I walked along the Copacabana beach through the old military fort to the ferris wheel.Unfortunately it was closed.LWe did walk along Arpoador rock & beach however which was where the harpooners used to see & harpoon whales.
After Nessa left it was goodbye Marriott and hello hostel w/ no airconditiong - talk about a tough change!I did manage to see some nice sights by myself including a great 2 hour boat tour of the bay and a wonderful bike ride around the lake in Ipanema.I even got a wonderful massage for only $20!I then walked on the beach at dusk and watched some kids playing soccer and some adults playing futvolley which is basically soccer over a volleyball net.You get to touch the ball 3 times between the players & get it over the net but you have to kick, head or chest the ball like soccer - no hands!It was quite interesting!
