Rio - 18th Oct
20.10.2006 20 °C
Everyone has met up in the hotel lobby and it seems that the group have really bonded well already. Everyone was really nervous and on-edge as no one really knows what to expect.
The Guides, Dan and Andy, greeted us with big grins and explains everything we should be doing over the next few weeks.
At 3:00 half of the group decided to visit the Sugar Loaf Mountain, the clouds were pretty Low so we had to make the most of the good weather while it lasted. We arrived in the nick of time to take some great photos, the view was breathtaking and no postcard can compare to the 360 degree angle view 
within 30 minutes we were completely submerged in clouds and we were soaking within minutes from the mist so we made it back to the Hotel.
Our first meal was spent in an italian restaurant....how very traditional of us! The food really cheep and so filling. As everyone found out it was my 21st the previous day, they decided to embarrass the hell out of me by getting the restaurant manager to bring a HUGE birthday cake to our table while everyone sang happy birthday!
