Back to the hotel for breakfast and a kip before Jeep tour
of the favelas. Ended up as more of a
walking tour and various warnings not to photograph/video in certain
areas. As ever, the majority of
residents are hard-working and decent people. Very small minority of hardened
drugs dealers. Each Favela is different
and the one we went to on the south side prefer the word ‘community’ rather than ‘favela’
(slum). Of course we tried the local Cachaças
brew in a back-street bar, which somewhat blew my head off and reminded me of
neat Poitín. Think it’s better with lime….
Then
a nibble of some tasty street food – samosa-style thingys. Space cadet today.
Don’t know if it’s the continuing cold, the lack of sleep or the cachacas. Think I’ll have a glass of wine and decide….
Amazing to read all about the trip - enjoying the excellent pics of Roberto. Hope the cold improves Linda. Can't wait to read about more adventures - have a caipirinha or three for me. Jess xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Jess. Thanks for setting us up with the blog. I'm using it more as a diary to hopefully download at the end. So much is happening every day - we can't remember what we've done two days later, so good for discipline! See you in May! Linda and Iain xx
