A really nice little town to visit along the way but there is so little to do here you only need a day or two at the very tops. They have a huge 22km ish beach but the sea there does not look very tempting as its a dull shade of grey. There were apparently […]
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
So with the World Cup well and truly over we were ready to take on Rio de Janeiro for the second time but closer in to do all of the touristy things people associate with Rio. We stayed in quite a nice part of Gloria close to the centre of Rio, but it still looked […]
Maracanã Madness
I was pretty gutted that I didn’t sort myself out in good time and get some tickets to the World Cup 2014. So with that in mind I got the chance to go to the Maracanã where the World Cup Final was played just 2 weeks earlier to see a local derby game in the […]
Paraty, Brazil
Paraty is a beautiful little town just further north from Rio, but it couldn’t be further from Rio in respects to the type of place it is. Paraty has these small streets with huge cobble stones on the floor. As long as you don’t break your neck/ankles on the streets it really is a nice […]
Ilha Grande, Brazil
We had heard a lot of good things about Ilha Grande from a few travellers and hostel owners along the way so had to come and check out this unspoilt paradise. Getting closer to the island by boat we could begin to see the beauty of the island. Dense jungle covering the vast majority of […]
Argentinians in Full Song
So it was the final of the World Cup 2014 and we had made it down onto the Copacabana for the festivities 4 hours early! There were over 100,000 Argentinians on the beach for the final so I really can’t begin to image how many people there were in total. An amazing day in the […]
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Well, it wasn’t quite central Rio, but it was technically Rio de Janeiro. Recreio dos Bandeirantes was the name of the place and it was about an hour and a half away from the centre. This visit to Rio de Janeiro was all about the final week of the World Cup 2014. We had decided […]
São Paulo, Brazil
São Paulo is a huge city. I mean, really big. We found it almost impossible to walk anywhere but the metro there is pretty bang on and the hostel we stayed in, São Paulo Street Hostel, was pretty amazing too. Museu do Futebol We took the time to visit the Football Museum at the Pacaembu […]
Porto Alegre, Brazil
So at long last we arrive in Brazil and full of World Cup spirit. Wait, what?! They are where?! What are they doing on a beach in Ibiza? Oohhhh, OK. Cheers England. Tourist Information are Liars So we hop off the bus and walk straight to tourist info for a map and some tips, the […]
Fifa Fan Fest, Brazil 2014
So if you don’t know, I’m in Brazil for the World Cup. The video below was taken in the Fifa Fan Fest that has been set up in São Paulo amongst other cities. Watching Brazil play, and win, was a great experience. Everyone was really friendly even with a guy from Columbia, Sebastian, that was […]
