Life at Mellow Yellow in Rio

Went to the BBQ and just stayed in the hostel drinking on the sat night, originally it was supposed to be a quiet night as we were quite jet lagged but instead we didnt end up gettin to bed till 5am!! Everyone at the hostel are lovely and such a laugh. Eventually when we managed to get out of bed at 2pm on the sunday we went to one of the biggest football matches in Brazil, it was a local derby, and it was an amazing experience. There was about 120000 people there and the atmosphere was crazy, couldnt understand any of the chants but we still joined in. Will put piccys up soon. Then we got back at about 9, had a power nap then headed out at around midnight to go to a samba party in favela. Dont know how to explain what this party was like, but there was extreme dancing, indoor fireworks and beers for about 35p... another good night!

Today the weather hasnt been very good, went to the beach but it started to rain, we were going to see the christ statue at sunset too but we are going to wait for a better day. Got a boat trip planned for tomorrow so going to try and have a quite night in... ??? Or at least try not to drink too much!

Hope you are all well back at home.
Lots of love xxx
