Rare NorbertsNiece Posted January 28, 2017 Author #78 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Great Blog so far, Must try to keep up with you. We sail Crown Princess in May and if you have time once aboard could you post some details of prices for drinks, just things like a Beer and a cocktail. Many thanks, Awake at silly o'clock. Someone has messed with CC or the bump on my head is more serious than I thought! Actually some friends on FB were talking about an 'upgrade' but my links on phone don't work. Anyway.... There'll be a plethora of menus posted never fear! :D Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief02 Posted January 28, 2017 #90 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Loved your AU / NZ blog, and really enjoying following this one, as well. We have been planning this itinerary for 2018, so this will be incredibly informative for us. I just subscribed to it today. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted January 28, 2017 Author #91 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks everyone for following and reading. It's good to know that the effort is enjoyed! I've been trying to draw a map of where I walked today and failed miserably. Those who are used to my 'walks' know that I tend to follow my feet..... probably not a great idea in this heat but hey...... So I decided this morning to walk to the Shopping Mall to the Desigual shop as eluded to by Bullingdon earlier. Seemed easy enough..... straight line stuff according to Google maps.... 40 mins max at the pace I walk at.... had had a lie in.... no breakfast.... will lunch at the Mall. That's my plan. Start walking. Pass an interesting market but decide to head to my goal and visit on my return. Get side tracked by a park. Turns out to be the Chacrinha State Park. Stunning. Families with children and activities under way. I worry about going too deep into the forest time wise. I head back to the route..... which hasn't actually given me enough information regarding the state of the road.... it's the steepest I've climbed..... almost as bad as that one in Dunedin.... I'm following a local and pace myself to mirror hers. Hours of dog walking have given me sufficient stamina.

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted January 28, 2017 Author #92 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Finally the Mall..... just have to figure out how / where to cross the major road. Casa di misericordio : It;s a hospital...... the name intrigued me The Mall is huge. Very modern interior with wonderful interactive guides. Cannot find the shop. Find the information desk. Desigual left about 6 months ago. Could not make it up. The lady at the information desk tells me there's a free shuttle back to Copacabana. Our tour guides had not informed us of that. Go to the top floor and wander around thinking about what to do now. Flashback. The day before I flew out I had a hair and nail appointment at a local salon. After the hair cut as I was putting my specs back on one of the arms fell off. I had to leg it to the optician (fortunately in same town) for a repair. So I go for a manicure in the mall at a very swish salon. 28 Brazilian Real. My neighbour is male and he's also having a pedicure. I decide to cab it back to the hotel rather than wait for the shuttle as I want to eat before the tour. Lobby Business centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted January 28, 2017 Author #93 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I am lunching alone again. I've asked for a chocolate milkshake.... big mistake. HUGE. More about this later...... :eek: On our way to Sugar Loaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted January 28, 2017 Author #94 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The guide gives us a full account of the Rio Carnival......and we drive by the spectator stands that are built for the famous event next month, Mardi Gras.
