From the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain you can see Copacobana beach! It~s the one in the far distance...but the closer beach looks really cute hey!
AND...This is..you guessed it..us at the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain! Doesnt it get boring seeing the same people in all these pics.............!
Day 285
Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, South America
We were up early to get to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain before the tourists busses came in. We~d arranged the taxi to come and get us..and drop us off! No dealing with hostel tours this time! (It cost 11 reais to get to the base of the mountain!)
It was 9am.
And we managed to get on the cable car (R70 for two) before it started swarming with gringo~s!! (who do we think we are..carioca~s now! haha!)
And...it was such a beautiful view!
We took this pic of Christ the Redeemer at the first level.....
And then, this one, on the top. Christ the Redeemer is behind that puff of cloud sitting on the top of Corcovado Mountain in the far distance!!!!
That~s how fast the white puffy clouds loomed in! Within 20 minutes we had a total change of cloud cover..one minute it was blue, the next white!
On clear days you can see the statue from the Sugar Loaf Mountain and it looks quite spectacular!
It was just so beautiful from the top.... We saw sea eagles flying around..ships, bridges, islands and beaches...
I love this cactus pic, overlooking one of the little islands...the cactus just seem like they~re perched on the ledges of hte mountains!!!!!
