Rio was cool with cloud cover making it temperate to walk and sight see, Paulo and Elizabeth taking us around the waterfront on a nice walk finishing off with a very nice lunch which we took them out for in appreciation of all their help.

The Saturday night weather caved in setting it up for a very wet and windy Sunday no incentive to drag Maya out for a cruze...in fact it rained cats and dogs some landing on the couch beside Ellen

So one of the cats took fascination with our camera strap smooching around for some cuddles ...good times!!

Rio is a beautifil city with the abrupt rock surroundings, it was great to see it in sun and storms both having different aspects of beauty to add.
