Rio

We had a more chilled day today after a big night!
We went out late morning to buy some souvenirs and mail some postcards before going for a walk along Copacabana Beach.
The beach feels a lot like Sydney in terms of the sand and surf but there is a lot of people coming up to you try to sell everything including cocktails, massages, prawns and football jerseys!
We went for a quick dip before going back to the hostel for a shower and then joining some of the group to visit Sugar Loaf mountain. This is a set of two cable cars that enable you to reach one of Rio’s highest and most spectacular viewpoints on top of the Sugar Loaf Mountain.
We made our way to the top and watched the sunset, taking in the incredible views over Rio! It was phenomenal being able to see the views over the city (including Copacabana beach and Christ Redeemer in the distance) in daylight, then with the orange and red colours of sunset and then all lit up at night.
We got back down the bottom and went to an Indian restaurant for dinner (as some of the Brits were craving it!) which was really nice and then called it an early night!Baca selengkapnya
