Travel Report: Rio the beaches...

hari ketiga, hari ahad, br aku mula nak tgk2 rio waktu siang... pepagi lagi aku dah keluar. plan asal nak naik ke atas bumbung hotel aku utk ambik gambar. seriously hotel aku mmg paling murah around the area. mulanya aku nak dok hostel, tp takde hostel yg ada individual room available sbb kalau dorm susah nak solat. so aku ambik lah hotel ni. tp, yg teruk nya roof top only open at 8am... and sunrise at 6am... hampeh... if aku dpt sunrise, this would be the view... tp ni gambar dah siang dah...so sbb tak leh naik roof top aku terus ke ipanema beach... around the corner je. ada lah 5 minit jalan kaki. hotel aku area aproador beach. its actually the tanjung between copacabana beach dan ipanema beach... yup copacabana very famous, tp tu dulu2... sekarang mostly org muda go to ipanema, copacabana mmg nampak org tua2 je...

what's for today... aku plan pepagi lepas bfast aku masuk favela, will talk abt this place in an entry later. trip ke favela akan siap by 1pm... so lps tu nak dok beach... yup... aku g lepak kat beach whole day... doing nothing jalan2... mandi laut... n tgk org... hehehe. the last activity yg paling best... hahahaha...

from far... that's ipanema beach.. penuh ngan manusia... ni otw nak balik lepas g favela..

yeah... rio is all about beach... senang kalau blh tgk map... kalau dtg sini stay around ipanema, tp copacabana pun ok gak sbb senang cari makan and ada night activity. ipanema lebih upmarket and lebih bersih and kurang org murahan... tp instead of the two beaches, dok tgh2 mcm aku, aproador beach. pantai dia lebih utk org main surf... tp walkable to both ipanema yg best gi siang.. and copacabana gi malam... here are some of the pics yg aku ambik guna hp je. org hotel kata bahaya ambik pakai real camera since aku g jalan sorang2... n aku rasa pun susah... kalau nak masuk laut ke... or nak main volleyball (oops tak main pun, tgk je)....

ni ipanema beach on a weekend....
aku g gak copacabana on other day... weekday... kat copacabana ada sandcastle...

masa kejap sgt lah kat rio.. if i have another weekend, sure aku blh cakap ngan diaorg ni aku nak join skali.. too bad, tgk dr tepi je.... btw, apart from volleyball depa ada gak main soccervolley (betul ke?) rule mcm volleyball tp pakai kaki n kepala n badan except tangan... mcm takraw lah tp pakai bola volley n net rendah skit dr volleyball.
this is a wonderful song yg buat ipanema ni famous... 1960's Girl from Ipanema..
