Line up those caipirinhas

Day 30 16 November 2007 (Rio de Janiero, Brazil) What a sad morning. Al is so looking forward to getting off and seeing Rio and then getting home. He's had enough of seeing the same people day in, day out. There goes my world voyage in a few years time J. The weather outside is very dreary and wet. Of all the places Rio was the last we expected rain. Grab some breakfast. When we get back to our room Nai has already set it up as a twin and it is no longer our room so we head out to find a loun...

Rio

Well our first major bus ride in SA wasn't too bad after all. The first hour or so was very cruisy. The seats were big had leg rests and folded down into a semi-bed. The road on the other had was good for about the 1st hour before it turned dirt and was covered in holes the size of moon craters for then next 4 hours. As we edged closer to Rio some 23 hours into our trip we found ourselves winding down through some amazing mountains with huge rock cliffs shooting up into the clouds. It was tru...

Carnival Trip In Brazil

Tours Gone Wild - Carnival Trip!!!! Day 1 (Jan. 31, 2008): After a 5 months of waiting after I purchased my trip, the day is finally here. The dream trip to Carnival in Brazil and all of the beautiful Brazilian hotties!!!! Everything is set. I have my visa, passport, my bags are packed and I got to the airport in Miami 3 hours before my flight. Let's see if the $3,000 I spent for my one in a lifetime trip was worth it. My friends went on the Tours Gone Wild trip last year and they still can't...

Rio!!!

Hi all,

It's been about a week now that I got back from Rio, and I am just now getting around to updating my blog. So the trip was great, and I had a really good time, a lot of fun. I met my friends Kevin and Ben who are on a round the world trip, and Rio was their last stop. We stayed in an apartment rental in Ipanema for a week, which was a great idea since it was like having our own place.

The day after we got there, Rio won the 2016 Olympics, and we ...

Rio de Janeiro: Cidade Maravilhosa Part 1

... US.

As soon as our bags were down at our hostel, we were in our suits and heading for the beach. Ipanema Beach is the stereotypical Rio beach. It is everything one pictures from the bronzed and statuesque bodies everywhere, to the futbol jugglers and volleyball players, to the tiny speedos on every single male, to the wonderful surf, to the perfect white sand that crunches under your feet like some fresh powder in the mountains, to the ...

More beach time and a night out with Neil & Louise

... in a mug of wine! Don't be fooled by the photo, it's not tea, it's definitely wine! Finally we found a lively bar playing some funky tunes down a little seedy back street - felt like home! We ended up getting thrown out of here at about 3.30am! It was a really enjoyable and fun night out, after which, we just collapsed in bed.....well I did, Lorna took 3 or 4 attempts before she finally actually landed on the bed!! But she was only merry - so she kept saying!

Ilha Grande Paradise

... further away from civilisation. We found our pousada and instead of being given a dorm style room for seven (which we expected) - we were given two 2-storey houses for the same price....sheer luxury. That night we homemade caipihrinias...which turned out very well and thought weŽd be economical and cook ourselves - turns out cooked beef jerky with soy sauce doesnŽt turn out so well and we all ended up with extremely dry mouths from the onslaught of ...

CARNIVAL!!!

... much to handle the Kiwi contingent plus the two lovely London ladies we had gotten to know through sharing our cupboard-like room with them decided to head to the beach for a bit of space and some people watching. It was awesome, we saw capoiera demonstrations and people doing crazy acrobatic things with pogo sticks on their feet. Then there was just the revellers in general sipping on drinks and wearing crazy costumes. It was a riot of colour, music and energy ...

Me oh My-OH, the Marvelous City of Ri-OH.

... out for some dinner. Julio had a specific spot in mind, and guaranteed we would like it. Then we started driving for 40mins into the jungle...there was actually a restaurant, a really great restaurant, deep in the forest behind Rio. Julio and Taty, thank you for the hospitality! See you in Canada. Sunday we spent at the beach and cruising the local artisan market, literally called the Hippy Market. After picking up some souvenirs we took a cab ...
