RIO DE JANEIRO

 

 

Hello Rio de Janeiro !! 

 

Hope you are all doing well!! 

 

I arrived after a long flight at 9.00 am in the International Rio de Janeiro - Galeao Airport.  

 

I was a little tired after this flight, so I said to myself why not go to Copacabana Beach. What an amazing view!! I had an impression that I was the happiest man in the world ! I was indeed! 

 

It was so beautiful and I lived a special, incredible moment ! It was good to revitalise yourself ! I drank a coco (4 to 5 R$) Yummy !

 

 

I left the beach at 11.50 am to have lunch in a traditional restaurant (at 12.26 pm) called " Angu do gomes " and I took a traditional meal " Angu". It was corn, piglet and seasonnings. A meal very special but delicious ! Good to try! 

 

After this good moment, I visited a museum called " Museu do Amanha " if you want me to translateits name,  it is " The Museum of Tomorrow '' (I arrived at 2.10 pm). This museum is stunning, I had never seen  such a modern architectural museum ! Do you know it was one of the innovations for the Olympics Games ? I did not know ... :) 

 

I love science exhibitions, and  I saw Cosmos exhibition. In the Cosmic Portal, a 360° dome, I spent a unique visual journey through galaxies and deep into the subatomic world of elementary particles and into the centre of the sun. I witnessed the beginings of life ! 

 

Then I took the Bus at 3.24 pm to finally  go to see " El Cristo Redentor ". If you want a piece of  advice, you have one hour and a half  transport and it costs approximatly 3 R$. Then I took the train (20 minutes of transport and it cost  me 68 R$) to see the PANORAMA ! I could not believe it I was there !!! 

They were lots of people, fortunatly I had taken my ticket on Internet; do the same I advise you:) 

 

At last, after one hour and a half of an unforgettable moment, I took a Taxi to see the Christmas Tree ! Beautiful and Magic ! 

 

I spent a fantastic day and now I'm in the airport to have my flight at 9.30 pm !! 

 

 

Tomorrow I will be in Mexico !!! 

 

Good bye Rio, I miss you already !!
