Arrived in sweltering Rio and immediately set about organising a posi. The place we eventually found ended up rather great, being a fully furnished apartment just off Copacabana. We found this place after being referred by the doorman to a lady who rents the place out for an Italian couple (while we waiting in the lobby of an apartment referred to us by the tourist office). Being short notice we were also able to negotiate a better deal considering the place would have been empty anyway for the next couple of days.

First day we slept in a bit before heading off to the 'Christ the redeemer' statue for some great views and pics of the city. The remainder of our stay at Rio was just to chill on the beach, drink some capahrinha's and shop. The beaches here are amaizing, 4.5km long at least 300m wide with hundreds of volleyball and soccer fields demarkated and thousands of suntanned bodies scattered throughout the length of the beach. All I can say is "You gotta see it for yourself!"

Hello hello
Hi guys, you look like you've been having a wonderful time! I'm assuming you fly out tonight and will be arriving back home tomorrow (Sat)? Have a safe trip, I can't wait to see you once you've unpacked...
