Rio de Janiero
We changed hotel, today. The new one is crap. I find out later from Trip Advisor that everyone else thinks it’s crap as well. I make sure to add a review to enforce this reputation.
In the evening two carioca (i.e. from Rio) football teams are playing – Flamengo and Botofega. Disappointingly, Flamengo don’t play in pink. Alain and Ryan want to go to the match but we can’t find any tickets, and it’s probably better for us as we have a great night in the sports bar that we find.
As well as the match there is an excellent covers band playing classic rock songs including Black Magic Woman, Jumping Jack Flash, Black by Pearl Jam and The One I Love. At one point Alain gets talking to some Brazilian girls nearby who are friendly for once, and we all start chatting. I do a Mick Jagger impression totally nicked from Alan Davies that goes down well. And much fun is had by all.
It says a lot about what was meant to be an early night, that we get to bed at about 3.30. And Alain a bit later.
