Sun 5th Mar 2023: Sailing into Rio

Alarm set for 5am. No time for breakfast. Straight out on deck to see the sunrise over Rio.

We were accompanied by several frigate birds.

That sail-in was a wonderful experience but suddenly it was time to grab a quick breakfast. Our first day in Rio had begun and visits to two Botanical Gardens were on my agenda.
