Rhod and Anna's World Adventure

Today we have been to one of the major tourist attractions in Rio. Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) is a 30m high 28m wide statue of Christ that sits a top a hill 790m hill and looks down on Rio. As you can see we were extra special visitors as whilst we were there we managed to get the statue to hug us for a photo.

Visitors hoping for any sort of spiritual experience will be sorely disappointed. As with every major tourist attraction there are a lot of tourists so trying to get any photos that haven´t got random people in is difficult. At any one time you can usually guarantee that there will be at least 2 people imitating Christ´s pose in order to make the perfect photo which no doubt they will cringe at in years to come. Shamefully Rhod is one of those people.

The highlight of the trip was the arrival of the Norwegian tourist group who all came wearing the same T-shirts. The plan was obviously to wear a bright colour so they would stand out. Unfortunately for them they had chosen yellow which meant that when they were separated they couldn´t be found because they blended in with the Brazilian crowd!
