The flight itself can only be described as pure hell, lots of people crammed into a boeing aircraft and all want things at the same time, i almost needed my shoes re-healed with all the running about it did.
The hotel itself is situated 18 kilometres from Rio itself so although it is on the beach there is little to do, nothing to see and as i have not got much in common with my colleagues and no intention of socialising i find myself in my room after a stroll along the beach, it is only 2pm here , had lunch in the hotel coffee shop which was buffet style, lovely selection for us Diabetics and even fresh fruit on the dessert section.
The hotel rooms are all suites, large bed, lounge area, desk and a small kitchen with sink and coffee maker, the flat screen tv is in a central unit so can be spun to face the bed or the lounge/desk area. Not too many English speaking channels but there has been some good movies on the ones i have found.
All room have sea view balconies albeit with a side view, the weather was not great, over cast, cloudy but still warm and no deterrant for Brasilian locals enjoying the beach and the surf.
Here are some weird and wonderful people i discovered on my morning walk along Barra beach.
Now would you .....really!!!!!
Yes....it's a man!!
And the winner is...........well there had to be one nice picture!!!
or maybe two!!!
The beach was quite busy in areas and obviously very popular with surfers as the surf was pretty incredible from the Atlantic.
That's all from me from Rio, i will post again from another faraway destination.
I think i have become very professional at taking my own photograph with an outstretched left arm!!
