Sugar Loaf
First day in Rio De Janeiro...
Staying in a beautiful colonial villa in Santa Teresa. We took a taxi to Sugar Loaf Mountain (you need to get taxis to most places).

We also finished it all off with a dessert made of tapioca melted in a pan (a brazilian crepe in a sense) with coconut and condensed milk .... mmmmm yum.
