bird

On my daily walk to the shop, this wonderful white bird stood there so still.

air freight

Hooray ,,, after 2,5 months our air freight arrived.

- Thanks Brazilian customs for your fast and efficient handling.-

I have no idea why it took so long for a couple of books and some clothing. Well at least we have something else to wear.

ice skating

During my stay in Nordic countries like Norway and Scotland I never had the desire to unpack my skates. When I saw an ice rink in Down Town Shopping and saw Brazilians skating. Being Dutch, it felt like a disgrace not to skate. So after aproximately 15 years,

I skated (stumbled) away.

C&A

I went shopping in the biggest mall from Rio, and there it was Dutch national pride Clemens and August. That was the last shop I would expect in Barra Shopping.

swim

I had a nice swim this morning the sun was shining bright and clear.

Staying more than 2 months in the hotel, we are promoted to VIP guests, we got so far; a fruit basket, a large plate full of meat and cheeses and today two nice desserts with the compliments of the general manager.
