I'm here!
In copacabana
02.03.2011
Just a note to say I arrived last night and it's really surreal! It's really hot and humid but unfortunately today was overcast and drizzly but that didn't stop me from headin to copacabana beach with my new friends that I made in the hostel (which is also nice). I met Rachael and Jo (Molly's flatmates from Southampton) at the beach and we had a yummy late lunch! I have managed to buy a phone sim today. Number is 7489 9204. I think that has to be prefixed with +55 for brazil then +21 for Rio (while I'm here).
Thanks for your post Suz! I really wish I could speak portuguese. No one really speaks or understands Spanish or English. Also I got lost today. The hostel is 2blocks from the beach- a 5min walk. It took me 30 minutes at least and asking for directions twice to find the hostel!
Not sure what I'll do tonight. The girls invited me to their hostel in Santa teresa but I'm wary of venturing out alone and I also want an early start tomorrow to do some sight seeing!
Missing you all!
