Killing Time

We never actually intended to stay this long in Rio. It just so happened that flights on the 10th to BA (and only on the 10th) were 60% cheaper than any other day. The 'easy' sights having been exhausted, we will have to be more creative in our amusements. Or just hit the local bars again.

Wandered up to the Forte Ducque today, an old howitzer installation near our hostel. Big guns and nice views.

Louis and I are looking to travel for a day-trip to some palace north of here. Can't remember the name and he's not here to tell me. It's an hour-long bus ride (which could well turn into 2-3 hours) but looks worth it. They have a big crown there, used formerly by the royal family.

If I keep writing, it'll really just be filler fluff so I'll sign off. Hopefully more to write on tomorrow (a local gang war or something).
