Rio

The easiest and fastest border crossing (this time into Brasil)

In Rio, Botafago. Arrived in our business hotel without any business to conduct apart from sight seeing.

First port of call, food, Subway. As the weather was good we decided to up to Sugarloaf mountain in the cable car. More queues. And as we got to the tip, the heavens opened and it started to pour. It was grey, wet and not what we were expecting.

The weather has surprisingly been hit and miss. Mostly miss.

So far unable to see Christ the Redeemer as the visibility is very poor.

Had a lovely meal in the coolest looking 60′s restaurant with table mats that would have embarrasesd you decades back.

Jesus still not showing. Get some ‘cultcha’ and drive to the Museum of Modern Art. Closed. “Driver, take us to ermm, a shopping center”

The last few hours trying to save money we had dinner in a Subway, where it all began.

Arrived early for the flight in the. most depressing looking airport and lounge.

Taking off at 11.55pm nye to see the fireworks was a sight to behold.
