Today is a
sea day as we steam from Buzios to Ilhabela. The captain dipped the ship in
towards shore for a view of Rio de Janeiro.
It was hazy, but two distinct landmarks were visible – Sugarloaf Mountain
and the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
The statue was so small given our distance offshore that photographing
it was pointless.
Sugarloaf was
more discernible, but not as discernible as “False Sugarloaf”. The top picture below is of some fellow passengers
earnestly photographing the latter (from the right between the first and second person) thinking
it was the former. The bottom picture is
the real Sugarloaf (from the right between the second and third person).
When we
return from Ilhabela on the day after tomorrow, we will pass False Sugarloaf
and the then Sugarloaf as we make our way into Rio.
