    Flamengo v Fortaleza

    11 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    We made it to our seats just in time for kick off and it became apparent quite quickly that this could well be the loudest stadium I've ever stepped foot in! 57.5k mad Brazilians making noise non-stop and particularly getting up for it after an important block or the win of a corner. What an atmosphere!

    Unfortunately, despite having been the better side, Flamengo ended up losing 2-1, having scored a penalty and having another goal chalked out for offside.

    We'd been looking forward to visiting this stadium for a while and it certainly didn't disappoint. A spectacular visual spectacle (even with all the view obstructing flags) and one of the best atmospheres in the world!    Baca selengkapnya

    Theatre and Library

    12 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    What turned out to be our final stop on the tour was to the theatre and library. Definitely the most impressive buildings we've seen so far both inside and out!

    This ended up being our last stop as when we headed towards the waterfront the heavens opened. So we decided it was best to retreat to the hostel via the supermarket for safety.Baca selengkapnya

    Pedro do Sal

    13 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    This evening we took part in happy hour at the hostel with 25/30 others before heading out to the famous night our area of Pedro do Sal. The streets were packed with locals and tourists alike!

    A Wet Day in Rio

    13 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Today was an absolute washout for the full day. We braved a Subway and tried a walk in the afternoon but with no look. So we had no choice but to retreat to the hostel for some admin and to catch up with our new hostel friends. We did however end up going back out which turned into a very very late one (the sun had risen) so the day had a better ending!Baca selengkapnya

    Ipanema Beach

    14 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    After a lie in we headed with a few hostel friends to soak up the sun at Ipanema Beach. At last some sun in Brazil! Like the famous Copacabana, the beach is on Rio's south coast with views of the mountains at either end. It was a proper taste of Rio at its best!Baca selengkapnya

    Finals Day

    14 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    After the beach we headed to a packed out Copacabana beachfront bar. Half of the occupants were noisy Spaniards and the other half disappointed English.

    After making dinner we went to a bar local to our hostel for the Copa America final. After a kick off delay of over an hour and dull 90 minutes we called it a day and decided to settle for a well earnt 'early' night.Baca selengkapnya

    Estádio Presidente Manoel Schwartz

    15 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Thinking that the tide had turned on the weather front we decided today would be the day we get up and out ar a reasonable time to go up to see the big Jesus. However, as we dropped off our laundry we noticed it was a little cloudy once again.

    Nevertheless we headed for the funicular to the top of the hill. However, one of the guys working there recommended we come back another time since we wouldn't be able to see anything from the top.

    We therefore decided to pick up some pastries and head to Fluminense's old ground. We were confused at first as the ground is so old and small (but cool), but it turns out they now play there games at the gigantic Maracana.    Baca selengkapnya

    Cloudy Copacabana

    15 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Next up we headed to a very cloudy Copacabana beach, not quite the full experience but it definitely has potential on a nice day. We'll be back!

    The beach being quiet meant we got lots of attention from the vendors selling everything under the sun, although sadly we didn't want any of it.Baca selengkapnya

    Christ the Redeemer

    16 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Last night we headed for our final night out in Rio, to the absolutely heaving streets of Pedro do Sal where you could barely move for the number of people. It was good fun and certainly an experience and resulted.in a lie in this morning.

    Once we were up we collected our laundry, had some lunch and then headed to take the train up to see Christ the Redeemer!

    We bought our tickets and then had to wait for a good while but eventually we were on the 15 minute train to the top.

    We can confirm that this Jesus is very very big indeed, and people were flocking to see him as the viewing decks were so busy. But super impressive to at last see our 3rd wonder of the world!    Baca selengkapnya

    Pool Night

    16 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    After having some dinner we decided to enjoy a couple of games of pool. We've not enjoyed a proper table for a while now so we were back to our Championship title fight. On this occasion I managed to win both sets, bringing Dan's overall lead down to 17-14.Baca selengkapnya

    Lagoa Rodrigo

    17 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    This morning we were out relatively early to make the most of our last full day of the trip together! First of all we took an Uber to Lagoa Rodrigo which we'd drove past a couple of times previously but wanted to stop at today. On a clear day big Jesus can be seen towering over here but he was hidden behind the clouds for now.Baca selengkapnya

    Copacabana Beach

    17 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    At last we made it to Copacabana Beach in the sun! First of all we treated ourselves to a delicious fish and chips and I opted for a margarita, what dreams are made of!

    We had a go in the water and managed to hire a ball off a local man for a few hours. One bounce proved to be a lot more difficult than the Brazilians make it look, they're absolute naturals.Baca selengkapnya

    Sugarloaf Mountain at Sunset

    17 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    As the grand finale to our final day we headed up the Sugarloaf Mountain cable car just in time for sunset.

    It was a stunning and spectacular way to end our 5 months together looking out to the exquisite Rio harbour and skyline with a wonder of the world towering over it.Baca selengkapnya

    Latin America - The End

    18 Juli 2024, Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    So this morning marks the day that we go our separate ways as I head to the US and Dan heads back home.

    We've spent much of the past few days reminiscing about our favourite and funniest memories, the people we've met and the things we've learnt.

    There'll be hundreds of stories to tell our families, friends and grandkids about and I'm glad we got to share the rollercoaster of the past 5 months together!

    Until next time partner 🫡

    P.s. We played 2 final sets of pool on our last day of which I won both. The final score of our tournament being 19-18 to Dan. A remarkable and well fought contest!    Baca selengkapnya
