• The morning was devoted to visit Christ the Redeemer, a 38 meter high statue who keeps an eye on Rio from an elevation of 710m (2340ft). Poor visibility spoiled otherwise great vista point. A little party with a band took place during our visit celebrating Rio’s 444th birthday.
• Later visited a weekend sidewalk market, a lot of veggies, spices, flowers and cookies.
• We found a sidewalk café not far away from the hotel. Maggie went to the nearby weekend market leaving Natan to sip his coffee and watched the women at the bar. She wore a very short yellow dress with invisible tongs and danced Samba to the sound of a street band. It was exciting how she shook her butt.
• In the afternoon we went to see the biggest mall in Rio. We found it similar to Valley Fair in size, however, many more eateries.
• We decided to have seafood dinner for a change. The recommended upscale restaurant had a fabulous variety of seafood with excellent quality and reasonable quantity.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
