Currently sitting in my hostel in Rio. We got here late on Tuesday night after a 12 hour flight. After some slight concern, the hostel did in fact have our booking so it was all pretty easy. Our first port of call was the bar at the hostel, where we met loads of people staying here (all British/Aussie/Irish obviously)
The weather here is insane....it was 27 degrees when we arrived at midnight, and is reaching around 37 degrees during the day. We´ve mainly been taking in the local area, i.e. sitting on Copocabana beach. Have met some pretty awesome people already, and so have had some great nights out at local bars already. Have bumped into 2 people from uni, and obviously a whole group of Israelis already. We´re now on day number 3 and planning on heading up to the Christ the Redeemer statue, followed by a massive street party tonight...should be good
