Another adventurous day. Met some people from the tour in the hotel before the tour kicked off. Went down Copacobana beach and messed about taking photos of the palace hotel and the muscle beach (yes I did look out of place!!). Went up Sugar Loaf mountain on the cable car and didnt get vertigo which is a nice rarity for me. Cracking views of big J and the whole city. Using public transport at the mo and we could do with revising our prices in line with Brazil. One pound gets you pretty much anywhere you want.
Met the whole tour group in the evening and went for a buffet meal (meat, meat, meat). After that some of us went to a Samba Party (crazy), then went to a nightclub after that (bonkers!!), and finally got in at 5.30 am. Minus the tour guide. No I didnt go to the Help nightclub - I had been warned.
Recovering with fellow traveller in the internet cafe. Off to Isla Grande today - woohoo.
PS: Sorry at the mo due to a lack of photos. Having problems loading them onto the net, should be sorted by next update.
sounds good mr h, not sure if youre truly could hack the booze and late nights though. Just look out for the pre-op transgender types out there, you don't always get that lucky.
