3 days, 4 nights in Rio. Weather mainly rubbish. Though I did get to Ipanema Beach on my first day before the rain started.

Andy arrived safely and we took in the sights which as you can see from the photos were somewhat limited by the mist.

On the last night met our tour group for the next 17 days. 4 Canadians, 2 Irish, 1 Scot and 8 English. Mixed age from 18 to 37 (so I'm not quite the oldest).

Missing items - none (great start)
Injuries - 1 cut to foot from unidentified sharp object on beach.
- 1 blister on toe from new travel sandals purchased due to their ultra comfortable design!
Liverpool shirt sightings 2 vs Blackburn shirt sightings 0
Pool score - competition delayed due to obligatory Irish bar, Shenanigans, lax opening hours.
