After a lie in we started the morning at a beautiful old library that we had seen online. Some of its books date back to the 1400s and its building is seriously impressive. It was really mesmerising! We then wandered around as this is a part of Rio we haven’t seen before. It was much less modern, still scattered with colonial buildings, although they were looking pretty shabby.
We then grabbed some lunch before heading to Ipanema beach to try have a better experience than yesterday! Sadly the sun went in after 20 mins and got quite cold, with the winds picking up again it felt like the weather was turning with very threatening clouds in the sky. So sadly we didn’t get our sunset on Ipanema - maybe next time Rio!
Tomorrow we are getting up at the crack of dawn to head to Ilha Grande Island which is renowned for its beaches so hopefully we will have better luck there!!Read more
