Spent a lovely afternoon at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens. It was founded by Portuguese King Joao VI who, in 1808, fearing the fall of Lisbon to Napoleon moved his entire court (including 15,000 nobles, knights and courtiers) to Rio.
Tomorrow night I'm going in the opposite direction as I bid adieu to South America and fly to Lisbon on TAP. From there I'm flying on Iberia to Madrid and then on to London, where I'm supposed to land Wednesday afternoon.
