Rio de Janeiro


We spent a relaxing time in Rio de Janeiro. We enjoyed walking the beaches and seeing the sights around this beautiful city.
"The Girl from Ipanema" was written about 50m from our hostel. For the majority of the time the surf was too enormous to swim at Ipanema (helicopers plucked people from the surf) so we swum at Copacobana beach.
A definate highlight was a semi-final clash between two Rio football teams. 72,000 people standing on their seats singing and cheering constantly for three hours.
Lots of thongs here (all kinds).
