Rio De Janeiro

Rio´s totally amazing in so many different ways. I´ve had a great time here....apart from losing my photos off my camera. I´ve visited the tourist places, Christ, Sugar Loaf and the favelas. The beach here in Ipanema is beautiful, white sand and plnety of Brazilians playing volleyball! The favela tour was an eye opener, the way some people live is crazy, 7 people in one room about 4 by 4 metres wide. Many of the places look like they could fall down at any moment. The children are so cute, one little boy went to find me a flower and wanted his picture taken so he could see it on the camera. We took motorbikes to the top of the mountain and then walked back down, the motorbike ride was wicked!! I´ve got 2 more days in Ipanema, then I´m making my way to Copacabana. Can´t wait for the tour to start, but after driving through seedy Copacaba I´m not really looking forward to spending the night there. I´ve been to a football game at the Maracana stadium, the atmosphere was totally amazing. So many crazy Brazilians....don´t think you could actually sit in your seat, it was just there for show!!!

Can´t wait until I have chance to tell people about the places that I have been to as it´s boring talking to travellers when you have no stories to tell yet!
