I  can not believe that it is our last night!! It has all gone way too quickly and to be honest i still dont really feel like i am getting on a flight and going home tomorrow even though i know that i am.

So as i said we would we left our hostel in Ipenema on friday to come to mellow yellow in Copacabana. That morning after packing.. and arguing with the receptionist at Ipenema beach house (he was a pratt!) about our internet bill we put our bags in storage and went to our usual spot on the beach for the day (ipenema beach is meant to be much nicer han copacabana) and after another tough day sunbathing we got taxis to our new hostel. Mellow Yellow has a very different vibe to Ipenema beach house, it is much bigger and has way more people and it is definately more of a party hostel (which is what we wanted!). Our first night here we went out to Rio Scenarium which is a samba bar in Lapa and met up with Marcello and the posh boys (James and Ben) from our previous hostel and some new friends that we had made in the bar at mellow yellow. It was a good night but we all got a bit tired being accosted at all angles by horny brazilians and the music was slightly more jazz that samba but the bar was huge and very sophistacted with 3 floors and antiques covering all the walls.

The next morning we decided to give Copacabana beach a try but it just wasnt the same. We ended up sitting in the gay area somehow (i was sitting facing a very skinny man wearing womens bikini bottoms and suffice to say when he crossed his legs i saw WAY more than i wanted to!!!) and i have to admit we missed Marcellos (the name of the group of beach boys that we rented our sunloungers from). That night all of us (except jess and rose) went to Stone of a beach (a hostel down the road) to meet chris and the boys for a drink.

Today we went back to our usual spot on Ipenema beach for the last time (very sad!!!) and then went to Itahy for our fairwell dinner- although unfortunately the food wasnt great. After returning to the hostel we packed (for the last time!!!) and then headed up to the bar for some last drinks together. Unknown to us there was a Capoeira show going on up there. Capoeira is a form of dance stroke kickboxing with singing and music accompanying it, it is absolutely amazing!!!! I was dragged up to do it with one of the guys and ended up kicking him in the face whilst doing a cartwheel..oops...dont think i was supposed to do that! But looking back at the video (anne videod it) it looks like he walked into my cartwheel so i dont feel too bad now and plus two randoms at the bar said i looked like i had done it before!! Haha, yeah im a pro!!! I then got dragged up again to do some samba which i am not ashamed to say i absolutely suck at!!! But Anne also got dragged up and she looked wicked.

But i have to go now as the girls our having a drink down at the jacuzzi without me and i dont wanna miss out on our last night (boohoo!!!).
