On Thursday we went on a day trip to see all the sights. This included christ the redeemer, the tiled Lapa stairs and sugarloaf mountain. We thought we would be going in a minibus, but it turned out to be an opentop jeep with a driver who believed the best way to get anywhere was to join the shortest queue and cut people up to get in the right queue. ..quite an experience!
Christ was pretty impressive and with the sun shining down on him, it made it difficult to take in quite how amazing it is. We even saw a little monkey there and decided to call him Pablo :-)
The lapa stairs were good as well, although the neighbourhood didnt feel that safe and welcoming, it was good to see them.
Sugarloaf waa great, going up in the cablecars and taking in the 360 degree view of Rio.
It was a very tiring day and we decided to have a chilled night at the hostel.
