Rio was a blast!
The language problem remains as we had a gate change at the airport which almost left us in Salvador if we did not check the board as there are no announcements in English.
Rio was all that we expected or wanted. Although we agree that it comes a definitive second to Cape Town. Neil and I had a helicopter ride which was awesome as with our visit to the Christ Statue it was completely overcast and we got a chance to photograph the statue
Food was a treat. The Rio barbeque restaurants give so much meat that if I stayed there any longer I would have picked up another 10 Kg over 5 days
Have a look at the gallery as there are lots of new pics
We are now considering moving on North after another visit to Itaparica and the other islands
So, Until next time …..
