    Dunno yet only just got here. Personally I will be in that pool every day. I was a keen swimmer and swam for Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield in my day.

    Breakfast coffee was crap. The chef is going to source local Rio sausage and bacon for tomorrow.

    Metal bass, though. Metallica laterz...

    Nice one. If you like swimming, enjoy. It'll be fun against that beautiful backdrop

    Can you 'escape', lol, from that (what looks like) a complex of some sort and get into the (obviously safe) areas of the town? If so, that's what I'd be doing, and mingling with the locals in their restaurants, as that's usually where you'll find the most authentic food.

    Anyway, if you get a chance, post some piccies on the food thread of your chef's creations!

    Lol... Swimming is extremely popular, as are pools, but just not things that have ever floated my boat (or Del's), including sailing, surfing or any other 'water sports' [no I'm not going there on this thread]. or beaches. We're more 'land'/countryside, hills and mountains people.

    Don't get me wrong, we love the seaside, but only as far as walking along a lovely quiet sandy beach, preferably at sunset on a warm summer's evening, and Del likes collecting shells and unusual stones, twigs, etc, from which she makes some cool things. And I can imagine such walks being quite an experience on the beaches in Rio!

    So hopefully Justers will get to do that, and maybe crash a beach party/BBQ or two, where the locals are enjoying some quality ganja

    Lol... Not surprised. I'd be bored after about an hour, doing it just once!

    Anyway, I'm trying to mentally block out the image you've painted of those Speedos, as I'm just about to tuck into some pulled pork!

    Yes, I believe that the West Lothian ladeez of a 'certain age' still have your poster on their wall!
