... play on the beach as the beach was too inviting. Came back to our room for a quick shower and then went to a nearby mall called Rio Sul. Took a taxi to go there. The mall was at the end of the tunnel. Not too pretty from outside but from inside it ...

... end, it was totally worth it. The atmosphere in and outside of the stadium was a lot of fun to watch. The two teams, Fluminense and Internacional, are, of course, both Brazilian so I didn't really care who won the match. I did want to see the home team ...
