24.3. - 25.3. Rio de Janeiro

Finally our big America trip has begun! :)
Yesterday we arrived after a long journey in Rio de Janeiro. It was a mystic welcome with thunderstorms and very little light just after sunset. We managed to catch the bus to the national Airport where we had to change to another bus to Grajau, each 45min. We even managed to find the house of our host. We tried CouchSurfing for the first time. :) Fabio is a nice guy, and a crazy swimmer who holds a record of south america in wild water swimming. He suggested to go to a mustache party but actually we were very tired and went to sleep soon.

Today, we got up well before our host and went downtown after breakfast. We took a bus to the Centro, or at least near it. The bus system is quite chaotic here, but we usually manage to get the rough direction. We met a nice guy who showed us around a little bit and went to exhebitions in the CCBB and another galery right besides the Casa Franca-Brazil. Really cool electronic sound installations! :) We continued down to Cinelancia where we had lunch, prato feito, a ready made dish. It was with meat, rice, fries and frijoles. Very nice and ok price. After that we went to Copacabana and strolled along to Ipanema. We had a coconut and some beer there. After that we took a bus home which took more than an hour of crazy driving.
