Blogs from Lapa, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, South America - page 4

Bit fragile this morning. Went to the famous Lapa street party last night, but it wasn´t what I expected, loads of people standing around and then going into clubs, so it wasn´t a street party at all. Anyway, here´s some photos of Rio. I can´t believe these are my last few days :-((((((((( Off to the football tomorrow which I can´t wait for and then we´re off to a favela party with the girls so there may be some photos of that before I leave for the airport or maybe not....... xxxxxxxxxxx... read more

Buenas!! Unas pocas fotos más en Rio. Ya se ve el final, y ahora viene otra isla, Ilha Grande. Una descompresión antes de ir a Sao Paulo. En teoría debía irme el martes, pero Demi llega hoy a Rio y la voy a esperar para ir a Ilha Grande. A ver si puedo encontrar sitios para tocar. De momento ya llevo 14 discos vendidos en Sur-América. 6 en Bolivia y 8 en Brasil. En Sao Paulo hay mucha escena musical, y con lo grande que es, si no consigo en un barrio, pues voy a otro. Con las millones de personas que hay, cada barrio sería una ciudad de 3 millones... En fin, un monstruo. Y lo mejor... El día 3 de Noviembre viene Pearl Jam a Sao Paulo!! Ya tengo mi entrada, no pude contenerme... ... read more

28.09.2011 Juhuuu, flying to Rio today!!! Just chilled all day really, Matt cooked some beautiful chicken curry for us in the hostel, backpacker style ;o) The hostel we stayed at was called Porto Salvador and we would highly recommend it to anyone going to Salvador..its 2 mins from the beach, with kitchen, games room and very friendly staff. So we planned to catch a bus to the airport, but the bus never came (as they do in Brazil) so we jumped in a taxi. No problems checking inn, even dou we used someone elses CPF, so we probably will keep on doing that to book flights :o) In Rio, we jumped into a taxi to drive to Ivanas house, our Couchsurf host in Lapa, the nightlife district of Rio.. Ivana and her girlfriend Bia were great, ... read more

Well here I am in Rio! After the peace and tranquility of Costa Rica, Rio De Janeiro is the exact opposite - it's busy and crazy and the costumes are fabulous and bizarre! My hotel is surprisingly nice, a little old doorman can to unload my belongings from the taxi and take it to my room slightly amusing that my luggage is a very large rucksack with sleeping bag and sleeping mat tied to the top!! No glamour for me I am afraid! Rio carnival started officially on the 4th March and continues right through to the 12th. One of the main events is at the Sambadrome where there are the great parades with bands, costumes and dancing showcasing the best of Rio! As a tour group we have tickets for this and this is on ... read more
