Sugar Loaf and Jesus Christ superstar











Just a quick blog to let you know (as the title suggests) I´ve been to Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer in Rio. As I can´t load photos, its a pretty pointless blog, but that has never stopped me before.
I went to Sugar Loaf with a couple of Dutch girls. It provides great views of the city - Rio is a beautiful city, with so many beaches and a massive lake it looks as if it was built on water - while the Christ statue is very impressive, but what can I really tell you about it, you´ve seen the photos.
I´ve been pretty lazy about going out, but last night we headed to Botafogo only to be turned away from a nightclub because not all of us had ID. Hopefully we´ll have more luck tonight as we´re off to Lapa for some samba action.
I´m off to a Favella now, which have been highly recommended. They seem to be huge Rio communities where some of the poorest people live, and are filled with art and music, etc.
I will blog about it on my return.
