UFOs in Rio

The second and unfortunately also last day in Rio was very busy.First we went took the ferry to Nitéroi to visit the museum of contemporary art. It looks like a UFO. Soo cool with the sugar loaf and corcovado in the background (not on this pictures though but still looks cool)!




The next stop was Copacabana beach which was really amazing! I have never seen such a long and broad beach before. Would have been so nice to go swimming but the water was definitely too cold! Would have been fun with the really big waves though...
Instead we played a scene from Bay-watch



What a busy day... Next we went up the sugar loaf (the mountain where Homer was released when he got kidnaped).
It was getting dark already and we had an amazing view!
After the sugar loaf we went out to a really nice bar that is stuffed with curiosities and antiques. It's called Rio Scenario and absolutely worth a visit! And we were lucky, there was a band playing bossa nova, the traditional Brazilian music.
