Hi Fiona,

Just been quoted by thonson's for a two day trip to rio at £699 each as nearly as much as the holiday! :!:

Hi Fiona,

I have tried one brazilian airline at this moment of time cant recall if that was the one and thinking about it im sure that was the price i got as the other thing to consider is that this will be a peak time as well. :lol:

Hi Fiona,

Thanks for the photo's and still remembering me, the photo of christ the redeemer looks hauntingly good.

I dont know if it is coincidence but on the bbc programme ' around the world in eighty treasures' when he visited the statue it was also very cloudy. :thanks

Hi goa Mike, we were in Rio,last December,did it as a visit from a cruise ,so we didn't have much time there but we were lucky and had a clear dayto see the statue.It was truly amazing and the views wonderful,well worth the 12 hour flight we had had the day before!

Hi SUe,

Thanks for that as stated before we have been quoted around £700 each for a two day trip from natal which obviously on top of the holiday price adds up :roll:

but i know deep down i will be kicking myself if i dont go. :bhead
