Day 5 - Rio

Hotel: Windsor Plaza, Cococabana Rio

Today it is raining and gloomy, cool at 21C after Manaus. I'd had a sad night with TD and was happy for a sleep in and quiet day. We were to meet our guide at 2:30pm.

Having trouble connecting my PC to the hotel wifi; ended up tethering it via USB to my phone which is happily connected. So I finally managed to get some photos up for people to see.

Our guide, Marulo, gave us the updated plan for our tour. It has a lot of details including all the flight numbers and times we need to be out and about. Early starts again! It was good to see this detail after not knowing what we were doing re the Manaus to Rio flights.

He checked our paperwork like the fee for Argentina had been paid. This will make for a smoother transition to Argentina and Chile where the fee is paid at airport.

Dinner was at a place over the road where you pay by the kilo for your food. I had mostly vegetables and some dessert for about $8 AUD.

It has been raining most of the day but tomorrow is supposed to be fine. We need to get some washing done and there is a lavanderia over the road but being Sunday, not a lot was open.
