Jogos mundias – World Championship
The last few days where filled with the world championship of the group I train with. Which meant waiting, doing something, back to waiting. And long nights.

Back to Rio
For the trip back to Rio I got together with two girls from Austria and a guy from Mexico. As the girls had left their luggage in their Pousada (a wise decision as the entry from the street to the training places was a few hundred meter unpaved dirt road) they called a taxi to…

Fourth day in Rio – Cristo Redentor
Another beautiful day in Rio asked to be explored. This time my companions from yesterday wanted to do the walking tour and maybe walk up to Cristo Redentor afterwards. Unfortunately this would have been a little bit tricky in the end because once you walk up you have to walk down again or pay the…

That night I had to share my room with four very good looking nice women for the second time. Two of them twins from France and the other two ongoing teachers from Germany. (Hi Marlene and Nadja. 😉 ) – Yes I know I am a such a poor guy. 🙂 In the morning the…
