Today, I slept in till 12. SWEET!! after alot of convincing I managed to round up a few people to go to Niteroi to see one of the famous buildings from Oscar Niemyer- architect who designed Brasilla. The building was the museum of modern art. The building spectacular, like an aliens space ship. We had to take alovely boat journey there but an eye opener bus journey through downtown which was so rough ad scary that even the Brazilians guiding us through it are scared!! When we returned to the hostel Alessandro cooked real Italian pasta for the 11 of us which was lovely. Then off to another bloc party in Ipanema with yet again Caprinias.... read more

I could get used to this lifestyle, beach, healthy food and sunshine as my morning ritual. Eventually a few of us made a plan to sugar loaf. Firstly we all went for lunch after our tanning on the beach. When we went for lunch we tried a typical Brazilian dish. Feijoada (boiling pieces of meat in a pot with 4 other separate pots containing dried pork fat, garlic spinach, flourry garlic and veg) Auds almost as good as beef wellington!! Full and ready to go we made our way to the sugarloaf. Instead of getting the first cable car we trekked up which allowed us to see some real monkeys and work of our lunch. We then opted for the cable car. We hit the sugar loaf at perfect timing...Sunset. It was spectacular the views the ... read more

Today a few of us headed for the famous statue, Christo Redentor. This was spectular and a sight I never imagined that I would be lucky enough to see ; ) Tom, Fiona, Eanna, Ryan and myself all headed up Corocova. With crystal blue skies we had an amazing view of the spectacular city. That evening we went for a Buffet dinner with traditional Brazilan food. We headed into some street parties in Lapa which left us slightly drunk after all the Caperinihas ; )... read more

Today, I left for Rio de Janerio, excited, tired and ready for the best time of my life. After staying in the Yo hotel in Heathrow, which was pretty crazy, I embarked on a 12 hour flights, only to be accompanied by a charming Great British Athlete, so the flight was quite interesting!! Tom meet me in the airport we waited for Eanna and Fiona to arrive and we all headed to our hostel walk on the beach in Copacabana. We meet Nadav(Israel) and Sharon(Holland) and Ryan(Belfast) and all went into Lapa till the small hours to check out some Samba parties and Brazilian local music. Brillant begining. ... read more
