I can´t even begin to describe how much I LOVE Rio de Janeiro!!!!!!!! I felt like I was living a dream or part of a movie set whilst I was there. After our drama in Ilha Grande we wanted to escape the island and constant rain and head for a cidade maravilhosa. We dumped our bags in the hostal and headed straright to Copacabana beach. Just incredible! Everday we went to Ipanema beach which included watching two beautiful sunsets. We partied every night and met some really lovely people. Obviously the trip to the Cristo had to be done and boy did it provide some views!
The trip has given me the best 3 months of my life...I´ve seen so many different things - from landscapes that are out of this world including beaches that make you feel you are in paradise, to places that make you feel you are on another planet. I´ve also seen things that have changed my perspective in many ways - unimaginable poverty where you honestly question why we are not doing more in this world to help and also some of the most humble people imaginable. People that don´t have anything but try to give you everything.
I don´t know which would be my favourite part of the trip but the orphanage was definitly a great start and the children from Cusco will stay in my heart forever. And, Rio, well I´m already planning my return....
