Day 2: Arriving in Rio and staying in Fortaleza

We arrived after one hell of a flight from Frankfurt into Rio airport! The whole group was wrecked although we were entertained by Sean who chatted up every air hostess insight! 

We boarded our last plane.. Yet again time for more fun and games to keep us entertained. There's always a laugh with this group. Sure we're Irish of course! 

Poor Eileen couldn't get a wink of sleep! As you can see above she had a lot on her mind!!

We arrived into sunny Rio de Janeiro to be met by Serve's co-ordinator Diarmuid who had our transport waiting for us outside! Talk about service! And with a smile too!! We are definitely blessed to have a person who knows so much about Brazil and speaks the language on our team!

We travelled on a bus to a Redemptorist seminary where we stayed the night and had some lovely food! 

That night we went to do a bit of sight seeing where we went to Ponte Metallica to walk down the pier. We then went to the market stalls along the strip in Biera Mar where we got many souvenirs for you all at home!
