As we headed out today I recall noting that this was the last full day of our trip, but on checking my watch it was already 3pm. It felt like we were working a split shift.

So we headed down for a last afternoon at Copacabana. A stroll along the beach, a bit of shopping, including a bottle of cachaca for those caipirinhas on a sunny day as a reminder of our time in Brazil.
