We have boarded our Oceania cruise and already had our lunch aboard. Of course we are still a bit jet lagged and after sleeping 10 hrs we got up early and walked to Ipanema beach. It was much quieter than on the weekend. We were getting hot so we came back to the hotel, had a great buffet breakfast and then went to relax on top of the roof and had a awim in the pool. Really enjoyed the city but always were happy to find airconditioning...Our Sirena ship looks very big but all is compact and very luxurious. Amazing pillows, I am always grading the hotels on their quality. Catherine noticed the very good service, all coffes, soft drinks free as well.We are now heading to the computer room to resolve some issues, they have an expert there. We are staying here in Rio another day, on al day excursion tomorrow.
