Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf

You are probably familiar with this statue, it is the one you see everytime they have pictures of Rio, the one of Christ with his arms extended looking over the city.

He is 38m tall and sits on a hill that is 750m high. He can be seen from many parts of the city. We got there on a cog railway, which was cool, and as he is so high the fog comes and goes, so it makes it a bit surreal looking.

We also went up Sugarloaf mountain that has a cable car that has been there 100 years! The view over the city from there too, is great.

The rest of the time we spent at the beach...as you do!
