Leaving Rio (and Brazil)

Today was not much of a day to be honest. Stayed out late until last night- approx 4 in the morning. The crazy French guy from Floripa had ended up staying in the hostel which was quite weird, clearly a small world.

Headed into centro for the first use of the Rio metro system from Ipanema. Actually was not really that exciting. Walked around the dodgy market that I had avoided before. Picked up some football shirts and also had a snack in a local's place.


Headed back and had a wander around Leblon. Grabbed some Acai and last workouts along the beach. The weather was not so good today and the sea looked grim (brown)- made leaving easier.

 Arrived at the airport far too early. The airport is terrible its like the 3rd World. I managed to check in and had to pay 90 euros for the surfboard, which hurt. Have not been able to sell anywhere in Brazil so it is coming home.  

Massive queue for security then another one for passport control.  Cannot emphasise how bad the airport is here.  Hardly any commerce.  Have managed a quick snack pre flight.  Thankfully I have my laptop so its not too boring at the airport.  Have 10 hour flight to look forward to.  Joys of travelling.
