HOLA!
Right some more detailed blabber about Rio...
things here are cheap as! but more expensive than rest of brazil - we leave rio in the morning to go to paraty (a beach town 4 hours south with 360 beaches!)
the food is good so far - we are havin lunch wit some locals this afternoon so that~ll be real portugese fare!
We have been exploring the city on foot - walked 5 hours yesterday round Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon and back to our amazing hostel! had a crazy ass taxi driver on the way home who kept saying ´surprise surprise´whilst driving breakneck speeds round the place he took us to a whole lot of sights and let us get out and take photos
was MENTAL!
the rain has stopped so we just did the local markets in the nearby suburb of Lapa - Gemma arrives tonite at 8pm so we are going to do Sugar Loaf and Statue of Christ tomorrow morning then jump on a bus
im havin the most incredible time! taken tonnes of pics but they not uploading for some reason!
the whole city is ruins surrounded by new buildings...str
its got a funny smell that already is imprinted as RIO smell...
righto heading off to the city
xx love to all!!
