Sugar Loaf Mountain
8 marca 2023, Brazylia ⋅ 🌧 84 °F
We took a cable car up to the top of Pao de Azucar aka Sugar Loaf today.

The view was wonderful, but even as fast-tracked tourists, the line to get in was nearly two hours long!

As expected, Sugar Loaf offers an impressive vista. From here, you can see Copacabana beach, as well as Christ the Redeemer.

I really enjoyed the birdwatching, as well. A swirl of black vultures circled the mountaintop. I got a much better look at the frigate birds I’ve been seeing since we arrived. There were plenty of other birds in the lush canopy of trees below our viewpoint, but I wasn’t able to identify any.

Note to self: next time you’re in Rio, bring binoculars! Czytaj więcej

Copacabana & Mosaic Streets

On our way to Sugar Loaf Mountain, our bus swung by the most famous beach in Rio de Janeiro: Copacabana.

Even the wavy black and white mosaic pattern that makes up the sidewalk running alongside it is iconic.

This style of pavement reminds me of Portugal, so I assume it’s due to the Portuguese influence here. (I forgot to ask!)

Along the way to the beach, I saw a lot of street art as well as ugly graffiti. In many cities around the world, people spare statues and churches from spray paint, but not in Rio.

There’s very little shade, as you can see. I found it interesting how they wet the sand so it’s cool enough to walk on.

A statue by the beach commemorates Princess Elizabeth, the king’s sister who signed “the golden law,” banning slavery in the late 1800s.

Some folks spent the day at Copacabana, but a drive by was good enough for us. Czytaj więcej

St Helena

Greetings from one of the most remote islands in the world! The nearest landmass is 1200 nautical miles away from St Helena.

It’s easy to see why, after he escaped from the Island of Elba, Napoleon was exiled here.

A few folks went ashore today, but we were not among the lucky ones. After a handful of tenders launched, the captain announced that for safety reasons, no more passengers could be taken to shore.

Those who made it to shore, assured us that getting on and off the tender boats was very challenging.

Our Romanian friends even showed us a video of their boat being tossed around. Their tender was even damaged on the return trip when it smacked the side of the ship!

Even so, some passengers grumbled about the captain’s decision. But according to the bar staff, a crew member broke their leg last time they were here due to similar conditions.

Maybe we’ll get lucky next time we’re here! Czytaj więcej

I was a little dubious when I learned that an Italian Beatles tribute band was performing on the ship, but both of their shows were a whole lot of fun!

I appreciate that they covered more than just the early Beatles. They actually performed songs from the band’s entire career.

As you can see, they even had fun dressing the part. They were certainly cast well. They look a lot like the Liverpool lads.

Sometimes we could hear slight Italian accents when they introduced various numbers, but who cares?

These guys, aka “Beatbox,” did a great job and it really looked as if they were having fun on stage. Czytaj więcej
