Off to Rio!!

6 am flight - then 4 hours in Amsterdam, which we spent in the new lounge.
Then almost 12 hours on the longhaul to Rio.
We had a row for ourselves, which was great. I think I managed to sleep a bit, although was feeling dreadful when we arrived at 
We took a taxi to the Hotel. Nice to see that they have the same staff since we were there last time in March last year!
Difference is, that I can actually say something in Portuguese - although not too much.
We unpacked, changed and went for a walk along the Copacabana.
Had 2 caipirinhas (the second one was not necessary!!!) which were ridiculously strong, then fell to beed slightly (or strongly) dizzy!

Happy to be back in Rio.
Blip was in Amsterdam just before we started.
