Holaa,
Here some more snaps from my arrival to Rio. There are many more posts to come because I have like thousand photos from this trip!
From the airport I took a taxi to safe some time and effort instead of adventuring with the bus. But it is also possible to get to the city center by bus.This let me some nice time to relax and enjoy the first views over Rio. The airport is on the north zone - Zona Norte so you get to see quite alot of the city on the way.
I didn't almost know which way to look as everything was new for me but here are some view snaps I took from the taxi.
Before arriving to Ipanema where I had chosen my hostel we passed the beautiful lake Lagoa. Can you imagine this in the middle of the city that already has the most amazing beaches?!
I could not wait to arrive to my hostel to get out exploring the neighbourhood and these cute streets!
For the first two night I booked a room from Mango Tree hostel. This turned out to be the perfect choice as the place was very cute and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. Little did I know at this point how many nights I would end up spending here and how many good people I would meet.
When i arrived to the beach the feeling was something that I will not even be able to explain. I had been waiting for this moment for so many years that it felt unreal to feel the sun, put my feet in the sand and enjoy the view. One of the moments that I will never forget.
I knew that there had been a reason why when I was 14 I decided that one day I need to go to Brazil. Now it just made so much sense and I knew I had arrived to a place that I will love forever. I mean just look at this.
I was set out to meet some local friend that I met this summer in Barcelona and enjoy the beach and my first caipirinha!! You could maybe tell from my smile that I was very happy and I also said to my friends how lucky they are to be living in this paradise!
Beach was not too crowded and we could just enjoy watching locals playing football and relaxing.
Time to leave you with these dreamy feelings and smiley picture to wait for the next stories later. Just looking at these pictures puts that smile back to my face so I hope you enjoy them too.
xx
