Rio de Janeiro 6.
Some things in Brazil are quite strange. E.g. my MastrCard is sometimes accepted sometimes not, doesn't matter if it's paying or withdrawal. Some machines refuses it simply. And if I find some which would actually allow me to withdraw, ask me for a 20 BRL "convenience fee", for a 300 BRL transaction...
In the morning I was walking in the Jardim Botânic, full of interesting trees and beautiful, colourful orchids.
I n the metro in peak-time, I realised that exists such as "female wagon". Moreover, in the other wagons some people are really beating the qualification of short-term running for the Olympics to get a seat. Others are trying to get into a wagon, when everyone else already would like to leave it. I felt like a Sardinia.
However it was worth to fight my way into the city centre, because I could have a fabulous "bolo de limão" in one of the most famous pastry of Rio, the Colombo Café.
