2 days of FLAT and 1.5 days of surf

Monday was FLAT.  So headed into town on the metro.  Got some coffee in Urgagui and had a wander around Centro. 

Tuesday was also FLAT, but opted to spend the day in Zona Sul which is quite easy to do.  This included playing beach football on Ipanema until the sun got the better of me and working out on the many pull up bars to get stronger (I hope).  For an alternative sunset I headed to Lagoa where they were clearing out dead fish (yum).  Sunset not too bad.



Wednesday waves.  All in the convenience of a wander over.  Sadly also crowded with Brazilians and not the best.  But got in 2 sessions of shortish rides.  Finished the day with a big feijoida.



Today (Thursday that is) there were waves again but much smaller and dying.  So opted for a bit of extra size and made  the close to 2 hour bus journey (each way down to recreio).  Got a few waves in- but the water was pretty gross (s*** and plastic).   By about lunch the wind picked right up and the swell was dropping.


Managed to get one of the exectuivo busses back (they are more expensive but well worth- unlike other public buses the seats are comfortable, you don’t feel like you are about to be killed by dodgy driving and you have personal space.  Paranoid about surfing in contacts in the filth I found myself taking them about on the bus journey home.  Fortunately when I arrived home Maria had made some pretty nice late lunch and I lazed the afternoon away doing nothing particularly useful.
