Rio ‘Ride’ Report

I had the most ridiculous night out in Rio last night. It’s a mental place to go on the piss, the women are out of this world and everyone parties real hard.

It was a last minute thing and we got on the pilot boat to take us to the shore. A short taxi ride later we were at Copacabana strolling up and down buying cold cans of beer for less than $1 each

After several beers and not being ashore for a while we were up for a good night. The beers were flowing and we really starting to get into the spirit when we decided we didn’t have anywhere to stay. No problem, feeling lavish we (me and 2 others) checked into the best hotel on Copacabana beach not caring how much it cost (beer will do that for you). We promply went to the sky bar sipping on vodka martini’s at $20 each before moving on to another bar.

Everytime we hit a bar we had a few more drinks and then got a recommendation from a local on where is best to go, got them to write the name down on a scrap of paper, jumped in a taxi and went there. The bars were getting more and more classy and more and more expensive.

I left the club at 5am and went walkies to try and find the hotel, it didn’t happen and in my drunken state I wondered around Rio trying to figure out where the hell I was. After an hour and a half and with 20 minutes to go until I have to catch the pilot boat back to the vessel I hop in a taxi emitting to tell the driver I had no money and there wasn’t a bank anywhere to be seen.

When I arrived at the port the other guys were there sleeping on ground :laugh:. The boat turned up just as I got out and we got bac on the ship feeling like death.

I turns out that the 2 others guys pick up some ‘professionals’ in the club and took them back to the hotel, only to be told that they were allowed to take them to their rooms! Not being deterred by this they take them to worst hotel they can find, check in and stay there for the night.

So after having paid for this decent hotel not one of us stayed there!! :laugh: Comparing notes today we realised that we spent US $1800 between the 3 of us!! Sweet bejesus :ohmy:

The funniest part is that I remember putting most of my drinks on my company credit card :ohmy:

It was a night out to remember for sure…….
