View from the first platform on the way up to Sugarloaf Mountain.
Afternoon. I´ve finally found an internet cafe where I can upload photos to prove I´m actually here and not just hiding in a cupboard at home or something. So enjoy!

I´ve also met up with the tour group now - 6 of us plus the guide, 3 boys, 3 girls. One of the girls is from Bexleyheath annoyingly, I was trying to get away from that place...all seem like a good bunch though, we´re on the road as of tomorrow, which is good, I´m a bit fed up with Rio now. One bit of good news is that our itinerary is changed and we´re now spending a few days in Buenos Aires rather than Cordoba, which I´m pretty pleased about.

Not a lot else to report ran out of Brazilian money so had to change some up today which was a mission. Got surnburn yesterday, it was my own fault for being distracted by something on the beach...

Later gaters!

The big fella himself, possibly playing a giant biblical game of sticky glue. Not pictured are annoying American tourists with arms outstretched and generally getting in the way.

I'm intrigued by what could have distracted you on the beach. Still probably best left to my filthy imagination. Nice pictures by the way, rock on!
