BRAZIL
Hello, loves!
I know that maybe I’ve been a bit short on outfit posts lately, but I had lots of catching up to do (at work mostly). So, today I decided to continue with my article on Rio de Janeiro and finally publish it.
As you all know, I recently went a week in Rio. After a long long flight ( 2h45 to Lisbon, and 10h to cross the ocean to Brazil), I was finally there, a Wednesday evening, tired and all, but feeling so great that I’ve managed to get to South America for the first time. I know rain is a bit rare in that part of Brazil, but apparently there was a cyclone “visiting” nearby. Before I knew it, I was in my simple hotel room at Copa Sul, a bit wet from the pouring rain. I went to sleep right away.

The next day I went, as I always do when arriving in a new place, visiting the surroundings a little. I was two blocks away from Copacabana beach and 10 minutes by foot from Ipanema (the other famous beach of Rio). Evidently, the city and people were always on the move, day and night.
The afternoon, I’ve visited a mall nearby as the weather was too cloudy and rainy, so I thought to myself that some shopping would cheer me up.
Sadly, the prices were way too high, even higher than in Brussels, and the things that were affordable weren’t that interesting or good quality.
The next days, I’ve visited the Botanic Garden of Rio, the Sugar Loaf Mountain and on the Friday before Easter, the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
All of them are worth visiting, and for instance, the Botanic Garden is accessible by bus, and the entrance fee is like 2 euros. A must-see for green lovers.
Here are some pics from there:
Sugar Loaf was a bit more expensive to visit, and I warn you that you must be very patient to get to the top cause the line is very loooong.
But once there, the view is exceptional.
