Corcovado


Let's start with the Rio landmark and go up to the Corcovado, the view is incredible even with the foggy pollution not present last time we were here. A quick bite up there to enjoy the view. The ride by train is very interesting going through jungles.  On tne way down we stop at the Catacumba Park, the zip cording and canopy are not really functioning and no one is around. It is a great park even if you hear the noise of the city. On the way down we decided to rent two bikes two-sitted and bike around the lagoon. It is really a greatway to enjoy the view of the city. Traditional dinner at Porcao churrascaria. The caipirihna here are really good!

RIO!!!!

We landed in Rio on time, the city has always that perfect mix of green, water, traffic and smiley people. The night was a little short so once we get settle in our apartment we take a walk through the neighbourhood to rediscover the city and solve some internet connection problem.  A little stop at the launchenette around the corner, incredible good dish with meat, rice, beans and various.  We  do like locals do, grocery shopping and watch the Italy-Germany semi final yeah Italy won!
