After a delayed flight from Houston....27 hours after leaving I arrived in Rio. Met Liz....who is still as yet bagless and headed onto the nearest bus. We befriended a local who used to live in london and directed us to our hostel.
It's very colourful and friendly though i wish i spoke portugese because no one speaks English. We went for a wonder round the city...saw monkeys and Christ the redeemer from our road :) there are lots of wierd things to buy here.
We've had guarana fizzy stuff which seems popular here and are now trying 'Corote' which is strong alcohol made from fermented sugar cane. It feels very surreal being here but lots to do to distract me from missing home :) ....photos to come...
