Indeed it was much warmer today (but still very comfortable) until it started raining in the afternoon and the temperatures dropped. But we like it a lot anyway.

I just booked Oro for tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion again!
On NYE we'll just find a simple dinner somewhere close to the hotel (as we won't be able to move far away anyway because of all the people).

Our plan for tonight is to have dinner near the hotel as well (they recommended Balada Mix, Chiquita and Santa Satisfacao) and then take an Uber to Lapa to check out the bar scene.
They recommended Scenarium and Carioca da Gema in particular.

And then tomorrow we'll do all the sightseeing(Christ the Redeemer Statue, Sugarloaf Mountain, Ipanema, Selaron Stairs) and in the evening we'll have drinks somewhere in Leblon before going to Oro (where we only got a table quite late at night).
