里約當地人也許會抱怨20˚C實在是溫度太低,但是在商家們進行龍舌蘭酒促銷活動時,他們又蜂擁到大街上.
We pile into a nearby restaurant for serious food. Cariocas eat late and they eat as they party, with a bossa nova band playing in the square. And I realise, caipirinha in hand , I've found my happy place.
我們涌入附近的一家餐館準備大吃一頓.里約人吃飯時間較晚,他們通常一邊吃飯一邊辦趴,巴薩諾瓦樂隊在廣場上彈唱.我意識到,凱匹林納雞尾酒(巴西國酒)在手,把酒言歡,夫復何求.
Rio Olympics Travel File
里約熱內盧觀賽小貼士:
Tickets: The main Olympic website has all the info. Tickets start at 40 reals, about £10.rio2016.com/en
門票:在奧林匹克官網上可查詢所有信息.門票起始價為40 雷亞爾,約10英鎊.詳情可見:rio2016.com/en

Where to stay: Airbnb may be your best bet as many hotels are full. Prices average around £140 per night for a flat sleeping three. airbnb.co.uk
住宿:當很多酒店客滿,空中食宿(Airbnb)會是個不錯的選擇.可睡三人的公寓每晚房價平均為140 英鎊左右.詳情可見:airbnb.co.uk
Zika virus: It's winter in Rio so there are fewer mosquitos but Zika is still a threat. Strong repellent will minimise risk. Pregnant women should take extra care.
寨卡病毒:奧運會期間,里約為冬季,因此蚊蟲較少,但寨卡病毒仍是威脅.強勁的殺蟲劑可降低風險.孕婦應多加小心.
Best beaches: Ipanema and Leblon are quieter than Copacabana. Also nice is Urca, close to Sugarloaf mountain.
最佳海灘:依帕內瑪海灘與雷伯龍海灘要比科帕卡巴納海灘來得寧靜安適.靠近甜面包山的烏爾卡也景色撩人.
Best restaurants: Braseiro da Gavea; informal, meat-centric, expect to spend £30 a head on a feast.braseirodagavea.com.br
