arriving in brazil(1)

after 30 hours flights, arriving on a sunny morning. Not able to speak a single word of Portuguese. Good that we arranged pick-up.

Rio de Janeiro is our first stop. A city of beaches, mix of poor and rich people, night life and grafitti.
Yes, you can see grafitti everywhere, even on the wall of 15 floor highrise.

Lots of tourist spots. Visited Jesus Christ statue, which is actually located on a steep cliff form by erosion.

Weather was fine while we took the tram uphill. But when we headed to the beach... it rains, heavily. Nothing we could do but stay in hostel. Enjoyed a relaxing night.
