Chapter 6 – Rio De Janeiro - Part 3
(March 2014)

6 Months to go

Day 3

Luckily we had just planned for this to be a chilling kinda day. We had to check-out of our hotel at 12.00 but we were able to leave our bags there whilst we explored and looked for Rio souvenirs. Next to our hotel was a Havaianas flip-flops store which was amazing because the flip-flops were like £6-9 each!!!! Obviously had to buy 2 haha, loving life haha!!

We then went for a walk along Copacabana Beach where we stayed for a bit and took a few photos :)

 Then we headed over to Ipanema Beach quickly so we didn’t miss the beautiful sunset.  We had been told there was an amazing viewing point for it, and they were not wrong!!!!!! Ps this is the beach David Beckham’s Hotel was on AHHHH! But, sadly no DB L

Once Josh had had his little swim in the sea we had to rush back for our taxi to take us to the airport L

Ok, I completely am going to skip past the next part because I am so annoyed/scarred by this experience. We basically ‘missed’ our flight due to the stupid TAM Airline who claimed we were late for boarding, despite having proof that we were at the gate on time!!! Luckily a TAM/LAN air steward knew it wasn’t our fault so he helped us out and tried to make the situation we found ourselves in a teeny tiny bit better. He then missed his flight to LA to help book us on another flight for the next day for free, which was amazing! We had to stay the night in a hotel near the airport, but it meant we didn't have to spend the night at the airport in Buenos Aires, where we would have struggled to sleep, and got a delicious breakfast and dip in the pool too in the morning.  In the morning we were able to get on the flight - luckily they didn’t mess up that one - and we FINALLY arrived home!!!!

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Presents for us :)
