Hello again! Im writing from a cyber in the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro. We left Recife at 3´ o clock at wednesday at the 13:th of may. The trip was a real hell I can tell, two and a half day in a bus. We passed by the states of Alagoas, were we ate the first time, Sergipe (when I was sleeping, was to tired to go out from the bus when I woke up for a few minutes), Bahia were we spent the all thursday day, and Minas Gerais at the night. At the stops in Minas Gerais we were freezing, and smoke came out froum our mouths when we were breaving, I couldnt imagine it could be cold in Brazil, but now I see that I was wrong, I didnt see anyone exept myself in shorts and t-shirt. At the friday morning we entered the state of Rio de Janeiro, almost immidetly the state show us the beauty it had to offer, wonderful mountains, cliffs reaching to the sky, clouds around us, we were up in the heaven it looked like. The tallest mountain of them all was the Dedo de Deus, a skinny spike cliff, far taller than the other cliffs. Soon the wild mountaineous landscape planned out and we came closer to the city of Rio de Janeiro, passing by the favela. It was alot of traffic so it took a long time for us just to come to the bus terminal. When we arrived we had to wait a long time for Nevis´s sister to come and pick us up.
The first day we spent at Nevis and her sister´s home.
At saturday we went to the downtown were we took the train up to Corcovado to see the Cristo Redentor. It was very cloudy wich made it almost impossible to see the city down below, but sometimes we could see it, but the Sugar Loaf were impossible to see. It was a very special feeling to see such a fameous landmark in reality, and the Cristo Redentor is one of the world´s new seven wonders, wick make it the first wonder I see, only six left.
When we came down again I bought a souvenir, an own statue in miniature of course, later we wanted to go to Colombo, the fameous cafeteria in Rio. When we arrived it was already closed cause it was late, we ate at McDonald´s and returned home.
Yesterday we visited the Copacabana Beach and the Sugar Loaf. Diêgo was very scared for taking the "line-car" up to the top, but well inside he was busy by taking wonderful photos of the view. At the top we really had a WONDERFUL view over the city, we could see Corcovado of course, Copacabana and Ipanema and the great Niteroi Bridge and the modern museum in Niteroi. At the top of the Sugar Loaf (or Pão de Açucar in portuguese) there also was a small beautiful forest with small, cute monkeys! They jumped and climbed like squirrels in the trees. We stayed at the Sugar Loaf till sunset and didnt go back down until it was dark.
Today we visited the Swedish General Consulate to ask for some information. Our contract have to be translated to english, wich will be expencive, and we also have to fix an expencive document showing we are single and also translate that shit and stamp it, as we have to do with the contract. I really hate all this shit now, only stupid fucking papers we always have to fix and waste money for, it never comes to an end, Ill be SO HAPPY the day the last shit-document is fixed, gaaah I hate this! We went to Colombo today and ate some delicious cakes, we walked around in the city till sunset and now we are here. Lets see what happens tomorrow. I can tell you all that I really love Rio de Janeiro, it really is the Cidade Maravilhosa!
