Day 3: 8th September
Not too much to report from Day 3 to be honest as it absolutely pissed it down, hence almost no photos! We suddenly felt like we were in London as the day before had been glorious, the weather is as unpredictable here as at home!
We decided to use the bad weather to get some things done, such as blogging, washing..and finding somewhere new to live! Yes, it was our last day in the Pestana Rio Atlantica and we were moving to much cheaper accommodation. We went onto Hostelworld and found a place called Stone of a Beach (say it fast in a Portuguese accent...get it??!) on Rua Barata Ribeiro and went for a walk in the pouring rain to check it out.
Once we got there it seemed pretty cool and quite lively so we plonked our money down to secure a private room and it was ours for the next 7 days!
Apart from that, it was a very quiet day for the Gaskin-Payne's, and we we're looking forward to a change in scenery, meeting new people and getting to see some highlights of Rio de Janeiro!
lots of love

Jealous
Really jealous as it sounds exciting. However, we partly paid for the first skiing week today so we're looking forward to that.
