Rio de Janeiro - Locura day 1

Rio day 1
After the night trip we arrive in Rio at 8am... but only half of the journey is completed, as ahead we have 1 hour of standing in a queue 🥴🚋 to get our tram ticket to our Airbnb in Copacabana.

Check in is only at 13, we have 3 hours to get familiar with our neighbourhood for the next 3 days, have lunch and experience the first Carnaval vibe...

After check in, with Mariana and Rodrigo we try to attend a first Bloquihno but unsuccessfully as we missed place and start of the "concentraçao" ... bad luck 🙄

On the way back thanks to my "intelligence sources" we are directed to bloquihno "Pomba idosa" at the metro station Carioca 😁🤪... end of the bloco so there is just time to watch and learn the Brazilian way of "connecting with people in Carnaval" 🥸😏 and finally meet Antonio.

We decide to go back home not too late, in order to get ready for the Brazilian Funk Party in the center- Uruguaiana Station, where David joins us.
Party with lots of new music for me, but I try to get the vibe and go with the flow 😆😌...
Start of Carnaval is veeery promising 🤪🎉🎊Read more
