szerencsere lebeszeltek arrol, hogy este jojjek rio-ba. igy delelott erkeztem.
a buszpalyaudvar egy kicsit sokkolo volt: emberek fekudtek a foldon mindenfele, koldusok es keregetok, akiknek en potencialis penzforrasnak tuntem... a nyugis kisvarosok utan egy cseppet bizonytalannak ereztem magam... de aztan bebuszoztam - ropke 2 ora alatt - a varosba, illetve ipanema-ba, ahol hamar egesz mas kep fogadott. rio-ban megint csak az tok jo, mint la paz-ban: hogy egyedi. ocean, tengerpart, napsutes megfuszerezve a hegyekkel, es mindez tropusi eghajlaton! (:
volt Krisztus-szobor, ami sokkal kisebb, mint a kepeken latszik, es persze fel volt alvanyozva az egesz; botanikuskert, ami egesz jol nez ki egyben, de unalmas, ha darabjaira akarom szedni; tengerpart, amihez nem kell mit mondanom; ernyosok stb.
annyira furta az oldalamat az ernyozes itt, hogy csak-csak kimentem megkeresni a leszallot. innen pedig egyenes ut vezetett ahhoz, hogy kovetkezo nap mar az ernyommel menjek ki. gyorsan kerestem egy embert, akitol tudtam fuvart es beulot berelni (ugye az enyem eurok formajaban utazik tovabb velem), es irany a starthely! felertem, atverekedtem magam a regisztracion, kicsomagoltam az ernyot, es mar a buko a fejemen volt, mikor jott valaki , hogy adjak neki valami papirt. mondtam, hogy nincs. de anelkul nem lehet repulni. ah, mondom, hurra! merthogy starthelypenz kell, es csak lent lehet fizetni a leszalloban, ahonnan negyed oraja hoztak fel... hiaba vetettem be minden rabeszelokepessegemet (persze portugalul :P), nem tudtam meggyozni oket sem a dij elengedeserol, sem az utolagos fizetesrol. igy irany az autoba, le a leszalloba, penz kiperkal, vissza a starthelyre es vegre lehet menni. kiteritettek nekem, es nagyon segitokeszek voltak egyebkent. meg fotosom is akadt, igaz a kepek meg nem ertek el hozzam...
felfedeztunk meg nehany turistamentes tengerpartot es kajaldat, de mivel most epp modemes neten nyomulok, igy minden kepet nagyon tessek megbecsulni...
maga a repules nagyon szep volt, bar egy deka emeles nem jott, az ernyo meg sem mozdult.. de a latvany megerte a penzt es idot, amit ezert a 15 percert bele kellett feccelnem...
aztan vegigbuggy-ztunk rio tengerpartjan. wooooooooooow... egyszer csak a buggy megallt. hehe, kifogyott a benzin. :P a tobbiek betoltak az autot a buszmegalloba, es elindultak benzinert. rogton jott a rendor hozongve, hogy mit keresunk ott. mondta, hogy nem lehet ott allni, inkabb eltol minket egy benzinkutra. igy a buggy-t szirenazva toltak be az elso benzinkutra... ((:aztan volt maracana, egy allitolag igazi rivalis meccsel: vasco - fluminese. nem volt nagy tomeg, de a hangulat jo volt, es vegulis a vasco nyert 3:0-ra. ez is megvolt, a vasco vicces keresztes mezevel egyutt :D
favella tura: sokat ragodtam rajta, hogy befizetek egy favella-turara, mert nagyon erdekelt, de bennem volt az ellentmondas, hogy miert is menjek oda szegeny emberek nyomorat bamulni?!? es hogy a befizetett penzzel vajon tenyleg segitek-e nekik? es miutan a buszbol kozelebbrol lattam a favellakat, azt kell mondjam, hogy ugyanugy neznek ki, mint la paz. csak ott az egesz varos ilyen. igy nem is ereztem, hogy kihagytam volna valamit. raadasul az utolso napok autozasai folyaman annyi favellan athajtottunk, hogy igazabol mar orultem, amikor vegre kihajtottunk onnan...felfedeztunk meg nehany turistamentes tengerpartot es kajaldat, de mivel most epp modemes neten nyomulok, igy minden kepet nagyon tessek megbecsulni...

rio... woooow!!!
luckily i was convinced not to come to rio in the evening, so i came in the morning.
around the terminal it was full of beggers and homeless people all around, to whom i was a potential money source... after the small towns in the countryside it was a bit shocking, so i was about to leave the area as soon as possible. the picture of ipanema - which i reached in a short 2-hour bus drive - was much different.
rio is again as unique as la paz was. ocean, beach, sunshine spiced up with mountains covered with mata forests and a hot, humid weather! (:
i saw the Christ, botanical garden, beaches, paragliding etc.
i was so curious about paragliding in rio, so that i went to the landing spot. from this moment it was not a question, that on the next day i should stand there with my glider. i found someone who gave me transfer and i could rent a harness from (mine is sold), and up to the take-off. i managed to registrate, got my canopy opened up, when someone came and asked for some more papers. uff, i have nothing more and i dont understand what they want from me. yeah, but they say i cannot fly without that - that was actually the take-off fee, which i should have paid at the landing spot i just came up from. great! i tried to convince them to pay later or such, but no results... so back to the car, back to the landing spot, pay, up to the mountain again... otherwise they were extremely nice and helped in everything. i even had someone to picture my flight. i hope i will get the picutres one day (:
the flight itself was amasing!!! no lift at all, but the view was spectacular!!! even a bit of favella tour from the air.
then we drove along the beach of rio in a buggy. wooooooooooow... at one moment the buggy stopped. hihi, no more petrol. :P the others went to take some petrol, but the police turned up and offered them to push the buggy to the next gas station instead of standing there on the road. so we got there with a police car sirening behind us (: then maracana stadium, a so told rival game: vasco - fluminese. there was no full house, but the athmosphere was great, and vasco scored 3 goals, in their funny shirt with a huge cross on it (:favella tour: i was thinking about it for a long time, as i was really curious. but i was full of contradictions if it would be ok to go to a tour where i see really poor people... and if i really help them with the money i pay?!? anyway, after seeing some favellas from near, i have to say, that they are the same asa la paz. but in la paz the entire city looks exactly like this. so i really did not miss anything. especially because in the last few days i drove through so many-many-many favellas, that by the end i rather wanted to get rid of them, and noit visit them again... we discovered another few hidden beaches and restaurants, but as i use modem internet at the moment, so appreciate all the pictures...
