Petropolis, back to Rio Rodoviaria, Ipanema sunset

Petropolis historic centre in the cold and the rain. 5º at night. Just like London in November.
The home of the Royal Family and Colonial-German-style homes from the late 1800s.





Petropolitano FC.

Dog on the bridge.


Bis 14: Santos Dumont's plane. Brazil's aeronautical pioneer.

  

 Bonfim valley farms, forests and waterfalls an hour's bus ride from Petropolis.





 

Out of the mountains and back down to Rio.


 

Favelas, warehouses and the business centre from the bus.






 


 

Back to the sea and warm weather. Ipanema sunset.
