Well, we are finally here. In Rio for Carnival, we cant believe it, 2 years in the planning and it is now only days away till Mardi Gras. Rio is fun, the beaches are long and the weather is warm and dry. We had a few hotel problems as our hotel was changed without our knowledge, but we are closer to the beach which works for us. We havent been mugged.... yet... although im pretty sure the paranoia is overrated.Yesterday we went up to Corcovado, it was covered in cloud but cleared whilst we were up there to reveal the entire city beneath us. Today we will be taking it easy on Copacobana or Ipanema beach before heading up the Sugar Loaf for sunset.
All is well and we are having a great time. We are also in the processing of piecing together carnival costumes for the parade on monday night.
Anyway, i have to go and look into Hang gliding...... HA HA HA !!!!
