Fog and Mist


After four days it stopped raining! So we cycled over to the Cable Car on Sugarloaf Mountain.

There are two cable car systems which take you to the top, where they have a theatre for concerts.


It was on this system that James Bond wrestled with Jaws in Moonraker .

At the top we enjoyed a Caipirinha cocktail at the top. Made with local rum, sugar and limes.

And viewed the distant beach at Copacabana which probably had people sunbathing despite the weather!

Yesterday we thought it had cleared up, but by the time the train reached the top of the famous Christ mountain, the clouds had come in and we couldn't even see the statue just metres behind us, let alone see the City below! We laughed!


You can just see the statue behind us! Does it remind you of 'Titanic'?....
