Rio part 2
... Sugarloaf Mountain". A huge granite outcrop in downtown Rio only accessible by cable car. The views from the top are perhaps the best views of the city - incredible and very moody with clouds covering some of the other peaks which surround Rio. From the top we had a clear view of the airport and could see flights leaving and arriving the whole time. It was kinda cool to be above the height of the planes watching them land and take off.
We have spent a ...
At the Copa
... much time in the bus and limited time enjoying the beautiful sites of this incredible city. We head to the beach after lunch. This is a beach to walk across rather than walk along. It is about three kilometers long and not quite so wide. We are fortunate that our hotel provides chairs and umbrellas for us to enjoy while we visit the beach. Life is sweet.

Well, Craig decides it's time I ...
Oh Jesus, I'm at the Statue of Christ!
... the Sugar Loaf Mountain (Zuckerhut) und the Statue of Christ in the back is a view you can only get from the sea. I took pictures, but they don’t do justice to how beautiful it was.
After entering the port we disembarked for our excursion to the Statue of Christ organized by AIDA. First we had a little tour thru Rio de Janeiro. We saw lots of different buildings (opera house, city council, etc.) which I took pictures but can’t remember which one was which, as ...
