1/4 – Sugar Loaf and environmental thinking.

I’ve also started to tick of the touristy things in Rio on my to-do list. Since last week Pão de Açúcar has got a little tick to the right of it in my mental notebook. Sure, it’s a tourist attraction at the max, but the view is stunning from up there, no doubt about it. And the sunset beats the sunrise in Paris with miles of margin.

A favela tour is up next on the schedule and after that Corcovado and Santa Teresa are still to go. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how many photos I will be able to show you from those places. In line with the global mission of increasing the recycling of stuff in the world, I’ve decided to contribute in my very own way. I will start recycling photos. No more taking pictures everywhere I go and then throw half of them away. Instead, I’ll recycle my old ones. Clever isn’t it? It could have something to do with that my camera decided to go on vacation after Paraty as well…
After a busy weekend with too many nice views it shut down and went on holiday until further notice. Apparently, there might be a possibility of getting it back from the unannounced rest by sending it to Sao Paolo together with the warranty paperwork I keep in a drawer in Copenhagen. But after evaluating the chance of that a) I will manage to get the paper work over here, b) the Brazilian post gets my camera to Sao Paolo, c) Olympus in Sao Paolo accepts my paperwork and the warranty claim, d) they fix it within the next foreseeable future and e) makes sure to send it back to me; all succeed before the beginning of June, I decided that perhaps I should just hold on to the broken one until I get back to Denmark. And who knows, it might be back from its rest as suddenly as it went away. Electronics live mysterious lives.
