Hotel Regina

One of the modern seven wonders of the world is obviously Corcovado, the Staue of Christ the Redeemer. Recently refurbished to make access easier it is a breathtaking experience. One young American tourist was heard to remark, "The thing about Rio is that as soon as you find one amazing place something even better comes along." which just about sums it all up. There are several ways up to the top but the easiest is the fenicular railway which takes about 30 minutes. Having done this take in Sugar Loaf mountain and the cable car rides and compare them!!I came here for a month and just stayed. Its a really cool place. You can't really pick out one memory as they are all so special. It's just a special place on the planet. Somewhere you don't want to leave.
