Our first trip as fiancés was our last sidetrip in Rio. Up sugarloaf. Leaving this for last was a good plan. Make sure to get tickets on the net in advance and definitely spring for the VIP thing.
It all starts at the red beach on a 90+ degree day.
Fortunately there is Casa Que Doce nearby for some respite before the ascent.
And then it’s up up up on a guided tour.
First station.
And then more up to the top. We walked around the gardens and had a bite at the sunset grill (where our news leaked when Noelie called). Yes, we were engaged.
Black diamonds drip.
Then back down to reality, the metal tube home, and winter.
Home to Chez Georges, where a last Caipirinha, and a trip to GIG were in store.
