Day 2 was amazing! We woke early and got ourselves sorted, a shower was much needed after the flight. We went to meet our other host Nina, she’s a Carioca (the name given to people born in Rio) she showed us around Ipanema including all the places to eat and drink and then we sat and had breakfast together, she had cheese and jam!
We walked the length of the beach and took some pictures
The shot above was taken using the "panarama" feature on the new camera, first go to. Well impressed!!
then we found a nice spot and lay down in the sunshine for the rest of the day, bliss.
The sea is great, the waves are enormous!!
We had a few beers and soaked up the 30 degree heat for a few hours and then came back to the apartment.
What we’ve learnt today:
Christ The Redeemer was built in 1931, he overlooks the south side of Rio which, since his erection (ahem!!) has prospered and the affluent folk of Rio now reside here. The north side to his back is now home to the Favalas (the slums). Weird no??
Were going up Sugar Loaf mountain tomorrow morning and then up Corcovado mountain where Christ is. (yeah, I thought he was on Sugar Loaf too).
Got to dash were heading out for some tea and a boogie.
