Two days of rain in Rio.
On our last official day of our tour, we did the touristy things anyway, visiting Corcovado and the statue of Cristo Redentor, one of the new seven wonders of the world.
Took the required cheesy photos and tried to admire the view for Rio through the clouds. Still pretty impressive in spite of the weather.
On to Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf). Took the two stage cable cars to the top for more artistic pictures of Rio through the clouds. As miserable as it was, it could have been worse. The rain was very light and we could occasionally see most of the city below. And it was not really cold, probably in the mid 20s most of the day.
Discovered the metro system and were able to spend some time downtown looking at sights, and spent most of a day at Copacabana beach. Sort of strange to see it with very few people. Apparently not many people are interested in a rain tan.
