Golden Tulip Continental

... went out to look at the few shops that were around the hotel. By the way, opposite our hotel was the Golden Tulip hotel. Golden Tulip is a Dutch chain of hotels that are frequently used by travel agencies for tours of Jordan. These tours are really ...

  We woke up and got ready to go to class.  Then we got to go downstairs and enjoy the FREE buffet continental breakfast.  It was very good, and I was so happy to get some free food.  It was also nice because our classes are in our ...

Aldri på tur med Helge uten at det inkluderer minst 1 fotballkamp  :S  - Jeg er vel ikke den som er mest interessert i fotball akkurat - MEN det å være tilstede på en fotballkamp i selveste Brasil er jo en opplevelse i seg selv. Et slikt ...

Dette har vært den store sightseeing dagen i Rio. Startet kl 0900 da vi ble hentet på hotellet. Det har vært en lang dag med mye rot og dårlig guiding,. Det var dyrt og dårlig kvalitet både på guiden og bussen, men vi har klaget og vi skal få ...

Etter en litt trøvlete reise i går, søndag kom vi omsider frem til Rio de Janeiro ! Her er det godt og varmt, ca 20-25 varmegrader, så det var deilig å kunne "kaste" ulljakker og olabukser og gå i normalt sommertøy igjen.  Vi bor på et ...

Late start today after Sambodrome last night. Great swim in the pool on the top of the hotel and a zzzz in the sun. Best coffee we have had so far in South America and a piece of disgustingly sweet but divine cake at Macedonia Video on Rua Gustavo ...

Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8pm to 6am. 6 Samba schools with a parade of about 1 hour 20 mins for each. Colour, dance, music, heat, drums, floats, costumes. It was so amazing. Our transport to the Sambodrome was quick and easy and our seats three rows ...

We were collected at 8.20am by our Jeep Tour with Andre as guide. Andre had lived in the US for 9 years, working as a flight attendant, so his English was awesome. His knowledge of Rio, the history, culture, people, plants, animals and so on was ...

Rio is great. Love the long beaches and the atmosphere with Carnival week. It really is the cidade maravilhosa - marvelous city. The hotel is awesome - a hotel vs. good hostels. Best part is the safe so I don´t have to wear a money belt. Air con, ...

O Rio é fantástico. Todos sabem disso. Mas toda cidade tem duas faces. No dia em que eu cheguei lá, fui ao show do Elton John e, na volta de madrugada, passei pelo centro de táxi. Cara, é triste. Nunca tinha visto tanta GENTE dormindo nas ruas. Era ...

Coloquei neste poste algumas fotos da Cidade Maravilhosa. Enjoy! ...
