Day 2 (contd) / Day 3
Was going to bed early at the end of Day 2. The 32 oc - 38 oc weather is powerful ...wearing factor 30. But staying in a Youth Hostel situation allows people of different nationalities to get together. It seems most are too scared to go after 18.00 hours at night (or too poor). Either way there were about 15 people drinking on the hostel steps which is located beside a peacful park. All nationalities from German, Swedish, American to UK. Anyway, they were as we say in Ireland nakker drinking with a bottle of cheap vodka. At midnight volunteers were called for to go clubbing. @Pack mentality@. I passed up but at around 1.00am, me and a half Brazilian\half US guy decided to get a bus to a club callled Bunker 97. It was pretty poor (hip-Hop!!!. please). Anyway 20 R in, and 4 drinks for 20R. Stayed for about 90 minutes and grabeed a taxi home. Small crowd.
Day 3
Very tired and hungover . Probably because of thise Brazilian National drinks (rum/lime/sugar), i drank which were pretty crap. Went to the Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car around 11.00am, and left there at 13.00 hrs. Did a alot of walkabout and grabbed a piza. Its now 19.00 hours and heading back to Hostel.
