RIO PHOTO DIARY

Hello guys! What I'm showing you today is a small part of my Rio de Janeiro experience. Rio is one of those cities you fell in love with on first sight. The perfect combination of ocean, beaches, mountains and lakes and welcoming local people are making this city one of a kind. In a few short days I've seen much more then I expected. Meeting local people turned out to be essential when it comes to seeing the most spectacular places in and around Rio de Janeiro. I'm proud to have felt as a real Carioca for a few days.

My schedule was quite tight but still I managed to do some hiking to the top of the Morro da Urca (a hill next to the Sugar Loaf), play beach volleyball with my new Brazilian friends on Ipanema beach, explore the Tijuca national park (the largest urban forest in the world) and visit a lots of nice bars and restaurants. While I was there I met a lovely couple from Atlanta, Georgia (which contributed a lot in making this trip perfect) and hang with them for the whole time. I also managed to visit the neighboring city of Niteroi and its amazing contemporary architecture and much more...

P.S. I left Rio but I'm still in South America. New post is coming sooner that one would expect it. Hope you'll like it. Kisses

Pozdrav svima! Danas donosim djelić onoga što sam doživjela u Rio de Janeiru. Rio je jedan od onih gradova u koje se zaljubiš na prvi pogled. Savršena kombinacija oceana, plaža, brda i jezera i susretljivih lokalnih ljudi čine ga jedinstvenim. U samo nekoliko dana vidjela sam puno više no što sam očekivala. Upoznavanje lokalnih stanovnika bilo je presudno za posjet najspektakularnijim mjestima u i uokolo Rio de Janeira. Ponosna sam što sam se barem nekoliko dana osjećala kao pravi Carioca.

Unatoč zgusnutom rasporedu uspjela sam otpješačiti do vrha Morro da Urca (brdo uz Glavu Šećera), igrati odbojku na pijesku na plaži Ipanema s mojim novim brazilskim prijateljima, istražiti Nacionalni park Tijuca (najveću urbanu šumu na svijetu) i posjetiti mnoštvo lijepih barova i restorana. U međuvremenu sam upoznala i predivan američki par iz Atlante (koji su uvelike doprinjeli ljepoti putovanja) s kojim sam se družila gotovo cijelo vrijeme. Uspjela sam posjetiti i susjedni grad Niteroi i njegovu veličanstvenu suvremenu arhitekturu i još mnogo mnogo toga...

P.S. Iako sam otišla iz Rija još uvijek sam u Južnoj Americi. Novi post biti će objavljen brže nego što možda očekujete. Nadam se da će vam se svidjeti. Pusa
