Rio de Janeiro 2014.

If you don't like posts full of holiday photos, look away now!

If you've left me a comment over the last couple of weeks that I haven't replied to, it's because I have been on holiday!  I spent two and a half weeks visiting friends in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil!

I went up Sugar Loaf Mountain


and to see Jesus


and to Copacabana


and to Ipenema


 and to the Teatro Municipal 


and to the Escadaria Selaron


and to the Portuguese Library


I went to lots of other places too, Santa Teresa, Petropolis and the Botanical Gardens were my favourites, but they deserve posts of their own.

I had a lovely time visiting my friends and saw lots of lovely things.  There were bus strikes and a culture strike while I was there, which meant I missed out on the main museums and historic buildings.  We found lots of alternative things to do though, we saw an amazing circus at the theatre (this one, which had a man in a wheelchair in it), saw some of a harp festival and ate in lots of nice vegan friendly places.

I hope you won't mind me sharing some of my adventure here over the next few weeks!

    1. I did, I deliberately avoided the World Cup though, there's talk of a police strike while the World Cup is on, so it's not the safest time to be there, unfortunately (for those who like football). I had a lovely time and saw lots of lovely things!

      I don't have instagram, I don't have a whizzy phone so I don't think I can instagram!
