We met everybody for breakfast at 6-30am as our start today is 7-30  as we have to beat the traffic from Rio, .Erica said she stayed down at the beach last night to listen to the music and she had a few ales but it poured with rain.
Off to walk the streets now will let you know more tomorrow
Tuesday 17th April  no 11 again
We have arrived a Buzious  which is beautiful holiday resort,it was were Brigitte Bardot lived ,but now lives in Niece ,we went to the restaurant for dinner and it cost a bomb.Erica ordered risotto with prawn which cost R98 I had lobster with prawns and mushrooms and it was delicious,it costR 99  mine was the better meal.
The ride today started of thru Rio the traffic was not to bad , and we rode across the longest bridge in the southern hemisphere and the sixth longest in the world it is 14 kilometers long. Rento took a wrong turn so we did a detour thru a small industrial area until he found the right road going in the right direction,we took a detour to see a magnificent church purched on a hill, as we approached the road way Rentao took a no u turn and we all followed, Burno forgot how wide he was and brushed up against a brown car, no damage and he kept it under control,then we followed Renato up a one way cobble stone street to the church,
 Then headed to Arriail do Cabo where we had the option of riding amazing cobblestone road up hill to observe some panoramic views of the towns and beaches.
We had our lunch and discussed the option and we all said no, as it was warming up, so we headed for Buzios, we passed salt pans with windmills, many lagoons.
it was a very good riding day,many many speed bumps and speed camera on all the roads, so you  cant even see no warning just hope we have not been caught we rode through Buzios which is all cobblestoned (should have worn a better bra),and saw all the little shops and restaurants.
Tomorrow we hope to go on a schooner ride
