SUNSET

PoA has a very beautiful sunset which can be observed from several points along the river front. One of the best places is the neighbourhood of Ipanema to the south of the city, about 8 miles from the centre. There's a promenade for walking and lots of bars on the riverfront to watch the sunset from.

Alternatively there's the Parque Marinha, take a deck chair and cool box! Or the Gasômetro or floating bar.

Incidently the terrace of my flat has a wonderful sunset view (small photo on main blog page), travellers are welcome for a churrasco and cold beer (for a small fee of course, well it's what Ronnie Biggs used to do! Okay so I'm not an internationally famed train robber, but I need to earn some dosh somehow)
