My trip to Rio


Fabian, Hewan, Kristoffer, Steffen, Henrik and I ready for departure! We are heading to Rio!!!
We flew in a tiny airplane from Morro to Salvador!
The view was amazing!



The flight from Morro to Salvador was perfect! The flight from Salvador to Rio was however NOT so perfect. We were 4 hours delayed and had big problems getting to Rio. The airplane ended up in Sao Paulo instead, before continuing to Rio! The captain first told us there was a storm in Rio, then that we needed to fill more fuel and finally when we landed that we had to change airplanes due to technical problems!

We finally arrived alive in Rio!!! Here are pics of some of the things we did:


Jesus statue in Rio!! The weather was not so great but we did see the contours! Amazing statue!!!


We tok the cabelcart to the top of the Sugarloaf! We saw the most beautifull view of the city!
This mountain is owned by a privat family and not by the state! Imagine owning Sugarloaf!!!


And guess what I did???????????

"Jeg kommer til å knuse den *** automaten med en slegge!"- Fabian



Problemet på Morro er ikke at vi fattige studentene ikke har penger! Problemet er at banken ikke har penger!!

I dag har vi brukt over 4 timer på å ta ut penger fra automaten i sentrum! Det er ikke lett, spesielt ikke etter helgens feriado! Fare for skimming er stor og banken har ofte ikke cash!

Vi klarte heldigvis tilslutt å ta ut penger til å betale turen til Rio! Kristoffer, Henrik, Fabian, Steffen, Hewan og meg reiser på fredag og kommer tilbake på tirsdag!

Blir kjempe gøy!!!!

Gleder meg masssssse!!! :) :) :) :)

Postcards


My dad always sends me thousands of postcards from his numerous travels! My walls could be covered!!
At the moment Im sitting in my room writing postcards, thinking of everyone at home. The post is however disfunctional at Morro and will be sent in the fall break! :) :)
