To all of you watching my diet (which has mainly consisted
of beer and bread) I decided to start the day with a fruit salad. Shortly after
this there was a loud bang from the favela below us and our electricity and
wifi was gone! Shortly after Gabriel (the hostel owner) arrived to inform us
that some little monkeys had blown a cable but they were still alive but very
black...
We took a new route down through the favela to our local
beach to enjoy some sun, sand, cold water and hot bodies. In the early
afternoon it began to rain and we decided to grab some lunch and beer. We
followed Gabriel to a little place behind Copacabana beach and had some tapas
and beer and then made our way back to the hostel.
At the hostel I repacked my bag (much easier than I
expected) and then enjoyed the rain and view from the veranda.
The plan is to go to a party in town tonight but the rain
has now set in and am not sure if anyone is keen to leave...but we will see
what a few ciaparinias will say about that...
