Rio

Before Rio here's an eploring pic
And here's one from the town of Paraty on the coast where the sea comes up the cobbled streets.  Fiddler crabs lay in ambush for all and sundry at low tide.

And so onto Rio....Copacabana beach, bikini salesmen, football on the beach, thumpingly big waves and the Big J on the hill...

Copacabana beach

Everyone plays football in Brazil
Sand fishing. It's all the rage....
A raininy evening in Rio when it just kept on coming down...
It became personal when it washed over into the bar!!
Even the owner stepped up with a squeegy!
From the hotel in Copacabana to the beach and up to Sugar Loaf
Ipanema beach...
Lots of exercise on and off the beach
Big cheese on the hill. Looked to be surrounded by scaffolding for cleaning so didn't venture up to doff my cap
