Last night in Rio

It was a big bonus arriving in Rio early.  It made the evening more relaxing.  I was keen to have a proper Brazilian meat dinner having never had the experience before so we headed to Porcao. Initially we discovered that the jockey club one was not the complete one, so we headed to the Ipanema branch.  It did not disappoint.  Lots of meat and a buffet that included sushi- was in the element.  I ate less than I would have expected- but still very good.  Meat ranged from cuts of beef, to chicken hearts, pork and great lamb- served Brazilian style.
We awoke reasonably early the next day and headed to Leblon beach.  The waves were small and clean.  Had an average Leblon session catching a few waves and was pleased to get in the water.  Headed back to finish packing before lunch at Pizzeria followed by ice cream and time by the beach.  We even built a sand castle and I got my last coconut. 

I got taxi quite early to arrive at the airport in good time, and fortunately I was able to get him to drive to both terminals as I couldn’t remember which was BA.  BA fly from terminal 2 at Rio!
