We were sailing whole night. I woke up already at 5.30 am. – from my experience the entrance to Rio de Janeiro bay coult be very spectacular. It was, because the weather was excellent. We docked near the old port barracks converted to the terminal. I have been in lovely Rio five times or so… But the weather never was as clear as today. I took again the minibus to Corcovado mountain (700-m high) where 48-m high monument of Christ stands. It is necessary to pay 55 reais entry fee to the park, but park microbus on the upper stage is included.
The view was very spectacular! Once down in the city I still had a time to see Maracana stadium, sambodrom, and all famous beaches. What a day! Next two days we will spend in the ocean, sailing to Salvador…
