Rio de Janeiro - day 5

It’s our last day in Rio unfortunately 😢 we will depart tmr morning to our next stop - Ilha Grande. I really wanted to go hiking in Rio. As Flo follows the Motto: happy wife happy life we went hiking ❤️😂. To get to the starting point of the hike is adventure itself. You get out of the taxi by the entrance to the Favela Vidigal and then you have to go up by van or moto taxi for 5 reais per person. We were bit scared to drive up the hills by motorbike and wanted to take van. Unfortunately there were not enough people and we would have to wait for quite some time. So yeah we jumped on bike, tried to explain the drivers that it would be cool to get some helmets and that we want to drive slow 😂😂😂😂😂. We survived the ride up, paid small fee to the local community and started the hike. It took us 50 minutes up (it’s 3 km steep walk up) to reach the peak of the two brothers mountain. Omg I think we never sweat that much 😅😅😅😅 but I am very proud we did that the view was amazing and there were not many people up there 😍👌🏼. On the way down we stopped for a drink and start talking to really nice American couple. We decided to spend the rest of the day together and enjoy the afternoon in Ipanema beach. Guys played even ball game with locals and went to the nearby pub to watch football match. We got very tasty farewell dinner in beach club and watched sunset. We will probably meet Erik and Gabi in Ilha Grande in few days and later in Buenos Aires again 😁.Read more
