this is really thorough, makes me truly wish I was going now!
Glad you liked Rosie!
Brilliant guide, anybody lucky enough to be there should read this! Looking forward to seeing how the event goes 🙂
Tks Shannon!
The opening ceremony was spectacular!!!!
Good tips. Wish I was going!
Maybe a visit to Rio after the Olympics 😉
This is great! Definitely passing this on to anyone lucky enough to be in the middle of the action. Olympics or not, definitely keeping in mind your tip on Barra da Tijuca 😉
Tks Mar! Yep, Barra da Tijuca is the place 😉
I love tips from a local, especially when it comes to food!
So, is there anything wrong with brigadeiro for dinner, instead of just after? 😉
hahaha Chris I can survive on Brigadeiro! cheers!
Amazing stuff. Really wish I was there to experience it for myself. Rio has been the top of my bucket list for quite some time now!
Glad you liked Dave. Rio should be on everyone’s list!
Ahh I really tried to go but was impossible to get tickets through NZ Olympics… But I am going in October so lots of these tips will still be useful for me! Thanks!
October is a great time! Good weather and not that busy 😉 Enjoy!
I would absolutely have loved to visit Rio during the Olympics! All that excitement would be awesome!
Absolutely Kevin!
Great guide! Wish I was there instead of watching on TV. This will still be a great guide when I make it to Rio one day.
And I didn’t know this was the first Olympics in South America!
Yes! What a honor to Brazil!
Combining the greatest sporting event on the planet with travel is a great idea. It would be a pleasure to blend both experiences. Your guide is a great reference for that. Of course it would be an expensive proposition, hope to do this maybe in the next Olympics.
Absolutely! And glad you enjoyed the guide!
Great guide Mister Robson!!!! Viva Riooooo!!!!
Cheers Ms. of Wonders!!
