Back to Rio de Janeiro

Before travelling home, Miss Bevan and I returned to Rio de Janeiro. It was very sad to know that this would be our last few days in Brazil.

Do you remember when we visited Ipanema beach? This time we visited the other very famous beach in Rio: Copacabana. It is a very long beach with whitish sand. Like at Ipanema, people play volleyball and Futvolley on the beach here.




We also took an old train up into the hilly district of Santa Teresa. From the top of the hill there were views all over the city. We could see the "favelas" on the hillsides. Favelas are areas where people have built their own small houses on the hillsides because they do not have money to buy houses in the city.
