This is an eye-witness narrative of a very pleasant trip from the UK to the former Brazilian capital, Rio de Janeiro. It highlights all the attractions that the city has to offer including it's beautiful beaches, mountain sceneries, a wonderful botanical garden, the gigantic mountain-top statue of Christ the Redeemer, many shopping arcades, Maracana Stadium - besides the College of Education of the State University, a few favelas, hundreds of restaurants..., and very lovely people having a good life and willing to share the goodness with visitors to their country. As a first of it's type, the book contains very many photographs and hopefully it is expected to make a huge appeal to all those athletes and spectators that will be attending the Rio Olympics, in August 2016. This is a city well worth visiting - at least once in a lifetime!
