New Year’s Eve in Rio!

Wow! It was amazing! We had such a great night, it really made Rio for us. We hung out with some other Aussies and a couple of Brits just chatting and having a couple of drinks, then headed down to Copacabana around10:30pm. I was worried it might be hard to fight our way through the crowd to see any fireworks, but it was so easy! We just strolled down, and while busy, it was relaxed and very easy to weave your way through the crowd, so that we ended up with our own little space right in the middle of the beach with a perfect view of the fireworks - some of the best I’ve ever seen (but I’ll let the photos do the talking). After the fireworks we wandered back towards the hostel and stopped to listen to some impromptu jamming on the drums, which was great fun. Best New Year’s ever!
