• Full day in Rio

    June 18, 2023 in Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    After 11 hours of sleep 😴, we decided to take another hike to the halfway point of sugarloaf mountain ⛰️ From there, we took the cable car because for the other half alpine climbing skills are needed…
    Kathi also got her first “thousand” mosquito bites 🙄 🦟
    After some great views and a snack on top, we went to the botanical garden to see many many different palm trees and monkeys 🐒
    After another “short” walk to Ipanema beach and an Uber (instead of bikes) back to the hotel we finished the day with some Brazilian food and a drink on a rooftop bar.
    Takeaway of the day: almost no one speaks English here 😰
    and Spanish is no Portuguese 🙅‍♀️
