Day 7
... I was initially weary of, but seems v.safe.10 min ride. Cost 0.75p. Copa is located about 10 mins from Ipanema and 20 to Leblon, these are the three most well known and fashionable areas (and safe) close to beach and where asides the Brazilians, most foreigners will want to frequent also. Passed a huge Chanukah menorah right in the heart of Copacabana!
I loved the fact when I arrived back I saw a live band singing to it's public in a ...
Orchids of Ipanema
... One common question we get, after chatting with a local for a while, is: aren’t you afraid? you’re coming all the way from Colombia??? Through Venezuela?? Through Rio do Janeiro??? Through Sao Paulo??.... almost as if its a miracle that we made it through alive. People are beautiful everywhere we go, and if you take a moment to chat with someone, you will see it.
The sun rose over the Corcovado, and Saturday at the beach is the place to be. Our hostel didn’t ...
The City of God......
... of the most affluent areas of Rio. Beach vendors walk up and down in the hope to make a quick buck (or should I say Real). Definitely worth a visit or a longer stay in this area to truly enjoy the benefit of having both the beach and a big city at your fingertips.

Day 25
... myself on a tour today, it was good, I did a lot in one day I wouldnt be able to on my own and it probably didnt cost that much more. I went to the Chris redeemer, then through Santa Teresa, to the Lapa steps and up Sugar Loaf mountain to watch the sunset over the city and see it light up in the night. It was amazing.
The evening was simply dinner and blog writing, im saving myself for friday night, i want to find a latin club or something, see some samba etc.

On to RIO!!!!
... br> The airport sends a bus to the plane to take us to the terminal. We walk out the door and are on our way to Copacabana in less than 20 minutes. Patrick spots a hotel with balconies that he thought he had stayed at before. He was wrong, but no matter, they had a two-room suite on the 9th floor over looking the beach for a reasonable price. Done!
We enjoy the view, but quickly head to Ipanema ...
