Rio De Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro, or hiojejero as the locals say it, is hot. Its got the copacabana and the ipanema - the ipanema is aparantely classier, I couldn´t tell! Its got the Maracana stadium, with insane drummers. Its got endless mountains with great views. Some really strange restaurants, from Rodiros (waiters serve you white chocolate pizza till you explode) to fruit milkshake jelly bars. Great shops - well, OK shops, but the prices are half that of england.
And I´ve got a mere 48 hours of travelling left. See you all soon!
