Brazil - Rio de Janerio - Ipanema & Copacabana

Just some fantastic stretch of beaches. However for me the only time i saw these places really flourish was when it wasn't raining.... Very western as though you were in any European city. some places even reminded us of the united states it was that Americanized.....

 Special Cupcakes......

 Custom Havaianas for someone special....

 & for me.........

 I can't turn my back on the Union Jack now can I????

 Footvolley - This is an awesome sport to watch....

 My 1st Coconut on Copacabana Beach on my Last day.....

 A dip on the beach never hurt anybody...

 Ipanema Sunset

Los Piratas de Ipanema Hostel.....

We stayed in the same hostel that Karl Pilkington stayed in in the Brazil episode in series 1

This was a complete coincidence..... Awesome grimy hostel with bags of character
