Her name was Lola...

SO, we were in Rio for 3 days, dropped off the old passengers on the first day and picked up the new ones on the 3rd day. So yes geniuses, we had one full day off in Rio. I had organised a tour up the Corcovado(With the statue of Jesus on top) in the afternoon so I had the morning to do some serious touristy stuff, there was only one place to go...

"We went to the Copa..."

"Copacabana"

We piled into a taxi and off we went. Got warned in the taxi about crime and pick pockets and the likes. It is bad in Rio. The one thing I noticed about Rio was the Soccer, every single available open space is taken up by a soccer field.

Got to the Copacabana and it is as good as it sounds. Sun, sand, people and lots of soccer. We hit the beach and met up with a bunch of girls from the ship as we got there. We drank the local beer and watched the Brazilian People do what they do best... Have fun, play soccer and look darn good ( the girls anyway), enjoy the pics.

Days off-Deserved

Being a perfect gentlemen and helping the lady out.

Oookay, One for the girls then...

Looking right towards Ipanema

Well suffice to say that it was an awesome day, will let you know what the rest of the day was like another time. Time for me to go to work. Probably wont post for the next few days. Its my days off ( Gotta love the restaurant business). I shall leave you with a quote for the day

"It is better to die standing, than to live on your knees"

Che. Guevarra

That pretty much sums it up for me
