HELLO From Brazil!! Its been a few days now since arriving, right now we are in Ilha Grande so Il update you on the story so far; We ended up getting a taxi from the airport into Rio with some Irish girls, the journey from the airport was an eye opener itself with kids walking down the middle of Brazils equivalent to the M25 selling what I think was popcorn!?!! So we arrived at our Hostel the Mango Tree in Rio and headed out to the beach, trying to blend in was impossible unless I lay on the sand which complimented my whiteness! Everyone does stare.... at first its a feeling of being a celebrity which shortly changes to that of someone on Americas Most Wanted list!
After doing the Must See tours around town the highlight was without doubt hangliding over Rio. Now, for someone who has trouble even getting on fair ground rides this was always going to be interesting! We arrived at the base of the huge mountain (unable to see the top in the clouds), and after signing what Im sure were our death certificates we headed up the mountain in Landrovers. At the top there is a massive wooden ramp which disappea, after seeing this I decided going for a piss before rather than during takeoff was the best option!! To cut a long story short; when the clouds párted for a second I saw the whole of Rio and then ran towards it! Some say they heard a little girl scream while I took off, video evidence does prove that wasnt me!! I could even see Petra fly past during the flight! There are no words to describe the experience, but f*ck me its amazing!
We left Rio early Sat morning for Ilha Grande, Il update you on our stay here soon!!
AHOJ VSEM Z BRAZILIE!
Z mezi pristanim v Sao Paulu jsme se octli v okouzlujicim meste Rio de Janeiro!! Mimochodem pohled na slunne mesto byl nadherny.. Z letiste jsme se presunuli taxikem do Hostelu kde jsme sdileli pokoj v 6 lidech, vse bylo ok, hostel cisty a utulny! Prozkoumali jsme tamejsi plaze (Copacabana-Ipanema) a mesto. Druhy den okruzni jizda po Riu! Kolem 15 lidicek v minibuse (vsemozna smes narodnosti) a nejdrive jsme zamirili na horu Pedra Bonita, po 30 min vyslapu se nam poskytl pohled na cele slunne Rio, kdyz jsme se pokochali odjizdeli jsme se kouknout na vrchol hory Corcovado kde stoji proslula socha Krista s roztazenyma rukama (legenda rika ze az obyvatele Ria zacnou pracovat, socha zacne tleskat ) :-) Tam byl tedy znovu uzasny pohled, a jelikoz neni sezona tak to nebylo plne turisu. To je jen v kratkosti, samozrejme jsme navstivili dalsi zajimave casti Ria!
Posledni den na zlakal adrenalin, a zkouskou odvahy bylo rogalo! Nejdrive jsme podepsali jakysi "Umrtni certifikat" asi kdyby jsme to nahodou neprezili :) Pak nas odvezli na vrchol hory, kde to slo rychle. Ricki najednou stal na rampe a v minute zmizel v oblacich, ja sle hned po nem, kdyz muj partak Paulo zavolal utikej, tak jsme se rozbehli, na konci rampi jsem vrozenym reflexem zavrela oci a letela jsem. Bylo to super, let trval cca 15 min a pristani na plazi jmenem Pepino! Nejlepsi zazitek z Ria!!
Odjizdeli jsem den na to na ostrov ILHA GRANDE, kde nas deli 150 km od pevniny!
PETRA & RICHARD
