Couldn’t help it, had to try it. Just to check if it was like everywhere else – and it was.
Always nice when what you get matches your expectations. Even though the expectations might not be for a very extraordinary experience, you know what you’ll get, and you get just that. Ok coffee and big muffins. This time also some nice add-ons like AC and English speaking staff, which are on the plus side when in Rio.
Missed a great photo opportunity yesterday. Spite the thermometer showing closer to +40°C I decided to check out the beach for a little while in the afternoon. I was just reading along in my book when a little, pink, square kite suddenly hit me on my back. It was quickly pulled away and the boys some 20 metres away looked at each other and giggled. There were four of them and the youngest was one of the coolest kids I’ve seen. Hardly reaching to his brothers’ waists, board shorts down to his ankles and probably not older than 4 years old or so. But could he fly his kite or what? Almost needed binoculars to see it. Cool as and total control of his blue thing flying way up there. Think I need to buy a few of those Brazilian kites and give to someone’s children back home. Can’t remember ever having seen a kite in Sweden fly like that. I do remember hours of trying to get home made kites with newspaper bows on the tail to fly though. And the crashes with the same ones…

Lotte vil gjerne ha en! :) Hun elsket å se på dem i sommer på "NL rundt" seilturen vår. Og har du prøvd å blande frossen & crushed vannmelon med vodka? Mmmmmmmmmm.. Kos deg!! Kram, Nini
