Day 9 in Rio

Well, have been doing so much recently its hard to remember it all but will try.
Went to another Favela Funk Party (we take a minibus up to the favela and go to a sort of club that is just one massive room with loads of people dancing and really loud music) last night because it was so good the week before, Was pretty cool again but I was very tired so didnt enjoy it as much. We went up to Christ the reedemer the other day which was really amazing, we got up there by sunset so that made the views even better. I got lots of good pictures which I will put on here sometime soon.
We have been to a few street parties. went to Ipanema the other day and just chilled on the beach and then we heard loud music and saw loads of people walking down the road so went and joined in, there was so many people there and they are still only warming up for carnival.
We are leaving the hostal we are currently at in 2 days, we were going to another hostel, however one of the people that works here offered us an appartment over carnival time for a really good price, (cheaper than we are paying at the moment) so it will be cool to have our own place for a bit.
We are thinking about climbing sugarloaf mountain in a couple days, still not decided yet though, a few people from the hostel have been and said it was amazing, its a 4 hour climb so will be quite hard but will be cool to do it.
I will try and update the site again soon and let you all know how carnival is going. I will also try and put some pictures on soon, its hard cause the internet here is sloooooow.
