We had read online of a spot called Pedra de Telégrafo, which is a large hill just outside Rio de Janeiro, which is a famous spot where people can take a hike up it and at the top they can get the “perfect Instagram” photo taken, so we decided to go there in the morning to see what all the fuss was about! Basically, it creates the illusion that you’re hanging off a cliff, when in reality there is a small bit of land to stand on underneath! It’s good fun to visit and it’s amazing seeing what the lengths some people will go to to get that “perfect” photo. Teenage to late-20’s women are definitely the worst. They would spend ages trying to get the perfect shot multiple times with different poses, whilst pissing everyone off in the queue in the meantime waiting for them to finish! They eventually started hurrying up as Craig started to boo them and everyone else in the queue stared to follow suit!

Later that afternoon we took the cable car up to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. We enjoyed a few drinks here while we waited for the sun to set to get some different types of photographs. We got some of the best views here of the city and then when the sun had set, the view of the city all lit up was amazing and definitely gave New York’s skyline a run for its money! At the top, we even managed to FaceTime Craig’s Mum and Dad to share the experience with them.

Later that night, we went to an Irish bar for food and drinks and also had a few games of pool. A great night to end a perfect day before heading off to the Amazon jungle the next day!
