I am back in Belo now to wittness a real Brasilien wedding. So tonight we will party the way the real people party... let' see.

I have decided to change my traveling plans and will fly back to Hamburg tomorrow! So I will back in my old home town Sunday morning 8am

Probably everybody has heard of the the big contrasts between the rich and the poor areas in Rio that's not what I am talking about. We experienced Rio with 2 totally different weather situations.
When we arrived in Rio it was 1.00 am!! Our plane was delayed by 3 hours. It was a bit difficult since our online bokking of a hotel was not successful. So in the end we had to trust a taxi driver at the airport, who offered a ride to a good hotel. All the people at the airport lokked a bit suspicious including the man who drove us. But, we must say he was a good man, did not overcharge us and organised a nice hotel for us. COPACABA..right next to the beach...the dream of many....

But it wasn't so lovely... the next 3 days it rained a lot, it was constantly overcast and it was quite cold. During those days Rio was not very nice. No were to go in the evening, no bar, no nice restaurant, realy nothing to do! Then, after 4 days the city awoke to its full beauty! Thuersday morning when we woke up the sun was shinning. For the first time we saw the how nice Rio can be. The beach was filled with people, all the little restaurants and kiosks were open...it was like we expected it.

The evening we went up the sugar loaf and expererienced a nice sun set and night seen from there.

For us Rio had to faces and unfortunately only showed the nice side for 1 day...
