I could certainly get used to this relaxing lifestyle, but I'm only here for a month... The beach is fun, the scenery fantastic, and the people welcoming. Just look at the view from my room....
On the beach you are looked after by a dedicated bar and refreshment service, providing you with beach chairs, parasols, cold drinks and almost anything else you might need!
Every five minutes there is someone trying to sell you a frango (beach blanket), nuts, ice cream, swimming trunks, kebabs, sketches, snacks, and an assortment of drugs and other thrills.
Andrew couldn't resist a massge from this guy whose name is Nelson Mandella (with two 'l's).
The two famous beaches, Copacabana and Ipanema, are next to each other and have recently been reached by the Metro system. From the 1930s these beaches have been among the trendiest in the world, and Andrew and I have done our best to keep up that tradition.
There are cycle paths all over the place, and the route from Roberto's to the beach runs alongside a lake just behind the beaches, helping to keep me away from the crazy bus drivers on the roads!
Cooks Road to Brazil. mmm. What a life you lead. Roberto will need to hire Basil and Sybil Faulty to run the place if he needs ruthlessness - and a certain Spaniard.....
