Before I got to Rio de Janeiro - I thought that Rio - it is one big favela...
The reality is kinda different
The fact is that I used to travel and visit the places which are more ruch and less dangerous.. the seaside.. but the city is really really nice..
it has everything: mountains, lakes, sea and beaches in the same place.....
Beaches are really nice.. and it was soooo unbeliavable to be on the Copacabana and Ipanema.. - the most famous beaches, the names I used to hear or read only in newspapers...
Pao de Acucar, Christo Redentor, Lagoa - with beautiful Christmass tree in the middle, a lot of mountains, beautiful park national de Tijuca.... - there are places I got to know...
and going out to sunbath and swim in the ocean..
Bruna - my friend from Lisbon lives 5 minutes away from the beach ( walking !!!) so I have felt like passing holidays in hotel...
and it was so nice to walk and sightseeing with her and her family, passing Christmas there, time which is difficult to spend abroad for me.. but i have felt as at home....
RIo de Janeiro - cidade maravilhoso.. but very very hot....
for example it was 40 degrees in the day we went to Pao de Acucar.. crazy !!!!
I have spent here- in Rio 2 weeks and it was perfect time... hope I will have possibility to come back here ...
