Wooooah!! What a view eh!
We arrived last night in one of the most rediculous taxi journeys of all time!! no seat belts, no attachements for emma front seat, an extra couple of people in the cab and a massive disregard for lorries!!! and any other traffic for that matter, Quality!!
Santa therasa is stunning, old streets, colonial buildings and a brilliant yet slightly tired tram service , however, the place we are staying has one of the most incredible views in rio, we have Christ the redeemer (thank god!!) to the right, sugar loaf (sweet) to the left and the skyline of rio in the middle....not bad !! not only that we have pet monkeys and toucans at the breakfast table.
We managed to ignore all the rules and walked round all the ´exciting´parts of the main city centre and survived today so feeling pretty chipper.
Hitting the beaches tomorrow and probably some of the more tourist spots so will see if Graham can add a new dimension to the carioca beach life, much talked about here! Just hope we can negotiate the hangover that is 5 caiprinha´s.
