Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio!

Couldn´t help the title - can´t help singing it as well!! We were wise this time and got a flight instead of hauling ourselves through another 24 hour bus ride. Our butts just couldn´t take it! As we were a week ahead of schedule we decided to head a little further north for a few days to...
