Rain rain go a-bloody-way! It´s been raining now for two days, but that hasn´t stopped us from getting out and exploring. Since the last post we´ve been to Uruguaina market, which was pretty crazy and full of locals, rather than tourists. Great, but no chance of finding a postcard of bikini clad Brazilians to put a smile on grandad's face! Today we´re heading to Hawker Stalls market in Sao Cristovado and the food and flower market in Ipanema, and tonight up to Lapa to join the samba party in the streets. Areeeeeeeeeba! Then when the sun comes out on Sunday we´ll go and see Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf, the hippy market and escadaria selaron (the tiled steps where Pharell and Snoop Dawg filmed their 'Beautiful' video). Would love to take a trip to Maracana stadium, but Danny would rather wait until Argentina and go and see Boca Juniors play River Plate. (Look at me all knowledgeable about football and stuff).
FOOD NOTE: Love, love, loving the street food, especially tapioca, very bargainous way to fill up. And the vitaminas (fruit juices with milk) and sucos. Will also try one of the many ´weigh and pay´buffets today.
BEAUTY NOTE: Brazil´s voltage is too low for my hair straighteners. Disaster! We have now entered a ´no pictures´ zone.
