for em!!lol ......... Well Rio is coming to an end... its been amazing here, so friendly, loads to do and jst so beautiful..... well apart from the poor parts that smell and ppl sleep on the streets.... but that apart its been amazin!!!!!
we went up to the Christ statue thing(garry is not here to remind me what its exactly called,lol) which was unbelievable....that thing is soooooo big n weighs somethin like 30ton(and thats jst the head )... i dont have a clue how they managed to get it up there lol. and the views were amazin as youz will c from the pics and very windy as u can tell with my hair flying about. hee hee!!! there was a wee gorgeous chapel that was at the top too,,, u will c garry in it but i wasnt allowed cause i had a bikini top on lol.....well i do want to get a nice even tan:) it was beautiful though and had lovely music playin!!
But our bestest part of the whole trip was yesterday when we went to the MARACANA STADIUM(yes, nicky..thats the "stadium thingy" i was lookin 4ward to goin to,lol) for the Brazilian Cup Final....... Botofogo(1 of the biggest teams) v Recende(a WELL smaller team) The stadium holds 90,000 ppl and it had jst over 75,000 when we were there so the atmosphere was jst AMAZIN!!!!! we went with a very nice english speakin brazilian man... he took us there in his car, round a few bars then to the match.....we supported botofogo(prob cause we knew they would win) and also the fact that i think there was only about 500 fans 4 the other team, lol xx
so we r off to Floronopolis today 4 the nxt part of the journey, its a wee island jst off the coast a bit furthert down...well 18 hrs in a bus further, ahhhhh!!! they r big buses though n recline so we will jst read, sleep, play ipods n hopefully we will b there in no time xxxxxx
