.....Copacabaaaaana (Barry Manilow sing-a-long).
Rio is awesome....need we say more.
We are staying really close to the beautiful Ipanema beach and have already spent far too much time in the beach bars on Ipanema and Copacabana drinking 'chopps' of beer. Mind you, today was more civilised as we had wine with our lunch instead....haha.
We have spent the morning doing a walking tour of the central area learning about the foundations of Rio and also went to the Selaron steps where Snoop Dogg and Pharrell filmed 'Beautiful' (which I now can't stop singing!!)
We also went to the Cathedral....it's like nothing you've seen before...all nasty concrete on the outside but lovely on the inside.
Yesterday we went to see Christ the Redeemer, which is fab... The little train ride up there is really steep with great views, and the view of Rio from the top is incredible, if you can push past all the other tourists!!
Tomorrow the plan is to go up Sugarloaf mountain as it is our last full day of our trip before we fly back to the UK on Thursday eve....we can't believe we'll be home by the weekend, but, like a true Brit would say, it will be nice to have a good old cuppa.
Hope you all enjoyed the bank holiday...we've had 77 of them in a row. Whoop. Thanks for following us on our journey. Xx
