I can’t believe it’s my last night in Rio already, it feels like I only just got here — although in reality, this will be my eighth night here! I had a very relaxing day today, hanging out on Ipanema beach in preparation for what promises to be a gruelling travel day tomorrow — a 5:15am start for a flight on Avianca (Columbia’s national airline) to Bogota, then a 6 hour lay-over there before the connecting flight to Lima, Peru, which doesn’t land until after midnight. Still, the hostel I booked into are sending a taxi for me, so that’s one less thing to worry about on arrival.
