Rain & My Frustration.... in Rio de Janeiro!
Goddd....
Day 1 in Rio:
Perfect weather... 28°C blue sky, warm day... loads of Cariocas (locals of Rio) on the Copacabana & Ipanema Beaches... and then the weather changes... dark clouds cover the sky and it starts drizziling and raining ... and again drizziling and again raining...
Day 2:
The bad weather continued and i got really frustrated... I felt homesick... i wished to run out of Rio somewhere i could take refuge with my friends or loved ones. So many ideas were in my mind... i was trying my best to keep my mood swings under control... i ended up spending 3 times more money than my daily budget to keep myself busy and not to change my ticket and fly out earlier :-)
Day 3:
Memories of good time in Porto Alegre started fading away and i felt better today though the sky was still cloudy and there were showers on n off but i went out and did sight seeing. I enjoyed exploring Rio though travelling alone as a foreigner in this city, you have to be conscious of the fact that you do not end up walking into FAVELAS which are colonies of poor people and usually they are near hills. Plus! this city is famous of petty crimes - people snatching things from you and running away or pick pocketing so it was not very comfortable to travel alone but i had fun.
Day 4:
Now it seems to be that my frustration is over and i had a good day out here in Rio. I went to Niteroi island and saw the famous Museum of Contemprary arts. The boat ride from Main city to Niteroi was worth it because i saw Rio´s skyline and made photos of the castle and the sunset at Suger loaf hill. Amazing! Indeed if not The Most Beautiful city of the world, than one of the most beautiful cities of the world!!! I just came back from an evening job and a drink at Copacabana Beach and decided to share my feelings with you all. Tomorrow is my last day in Rio because the next day is my flight to London via São Paulo.
