This trip... was UNIQUE in every sense; I thank Luca and my parents for letting me set off on my own.

Convincing them wasn't easy, but to tell the truth I was a bit worried too, until I realised I couldn't miss this opportunity!

A TOUR entirely organised by PROMOBRASIL, an agency in Catania that offers a thousand chances to discover Brazil in a SPECIAL way. (

So in November I decided to treat myself to a weekend in Catania to talk directly with the owner of the agency, Attilio, a reliable person who loves his job.. that way I also met my travel and room companion.. Rossella, his daughter.. my same age!! Nothing could change my mind by then!!

A tour complete with breakfasts, lunches and dinners in the best Churrascherias, Samba and Capoeira shows, excursions all, and I mean all, included in the price and much more..

PROMOBRASIL is certainly to be RECOMMENDED!!!

Feel free to say SELENE sent you:))

Day 12 Apr 2008

Let's gooooo

I still can't believe it.. mom and dad are taking me to the airport at Malpensa, where I will soon meet my travel companions.. I try to stay calm.. but it's difficult... it's the first time I've left alone.. my legs are trembling, I'm too agitated..

Once we arrive at Malpensa I immediately recognize Rossella, between one chat and another we check in and I keep thinking.. that in a very short while we will leave Italy, and therefore love, family and work, to rest and above all have fun.

Flight to Rio De Janiero with a stopover in Sao Paulo, departing right on time with TAM, the Brazilian flag carrier.

Excellent company, and onboard service.

We arrive in Rio de Janeiro where Carmeliha, our guide in Rio, is waiting for us. A very cheerful and friendly girl, once all the luggage is collected... we get on the bus and cross Rio... dozing.. until we arrive at the Copacabana Hotel Mirador. The hotel is very comfortable, well equipped and above all has an unforgettable view over Copacabana. We have no choice but to try to sleep... and can't wait for dawn.. to start getting to know Rio.

Ciao Selene, io e la mia ragazza volevamo andare in Brasile per Carnevale. Pensavamo di fare il tuo itinerario, siamo un po perplessi sulla sicurezza... Abbiamo visto che giravate con borse e videocamere, la mia passione sono le foto e non vorrei rinunciare a girare con la camera. Eravate con guide/autisti o tour organizzati? Pensavo di contattare l'agenzia di Catania ma è chiusa finon al 22. Complimenti per le foto.! Riccardo
