One place I have always wanted to visit was Brazil! At a young age I had a best friend from Sao Paolo and thought its not fair I am never be able to afford to go over and visit. But I finally made it to Rio!
I stayed in the Radisson Blu in Barra which is a quieter beach front location and great for surfing with the locals! I also treated myself to quite a few too may caipirinhas :s (a brazilian cocktail with cachaca lime and sugar ) pretty much a mojito that blows your mind! and drink out of fresh coconuts at one of the shacks along the beach.
I visited Copacabana beach this is Rio at its liveliest and where you can watch the beautiful people of Brazil play volleyball on the beach. If shopping is your thing head to Ipanema the road just behind the beach rows and rows of shops are here! (havaianas are so much cheaper than and theres a few stores to choose from!)
I did a few hour visit to see Christ the redeemer and at the top you can take gorgeous photos of the sugarloaf mountain and scenery as shown above :) If you are a foodie like me! you have to try one of many Brazilian BBQ's where they come round and serve mounds and mounds of different meats for you to try! yum..
I didn't make it to Sao Paolo but that is a must the next time I go!
Love stef x
