Copacabana Palace, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tuesday - Morning/Afternoon

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

There were a few clouds in the sky today, but no matter. It was still plenty warm in Rio, with lots to do for those who liked to, well. Do things. And lots of oppurtunities for lazing about for those who favoured a more recumbent sort of vacation.

[ooc: ocd for your threading pleasure: rooms / pérgula restaurant / the pool / the spa / the beach / tijuca forest tours / helicopter tours | ...sigh, weather. this is what happens when you write a post the night before and the weather says "mostly cloudy". WELL BOO ON THAT. ]

Copacabana Palace - Rooms

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

The deluxe beach view rooms (http://www.copacabanapalace.com/web/orio/deluxe_beach_view_rooms.jsp) have stunning views of the world-famous Copacabana Beach and some feature Juliet-style balconies. All have king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms which feature a bath with shower, air conditioning and high-speed internet for those students who would get twitchy without it. Peter.

Room 304

So did you think that Jamie was only doing a conga line in public places?

Nope.

"I go Chick-Chicky-Boom! Chick-Chicky-Boom! Chick-Chicky-Boom!"

Everyone outside of Room 304? Be glad you're not rooming with the Jamies.

Room 305

[fates_jaye]

Luckily for Jaye's roommate, she couldn't hear the singing that was keeping Jaye awake.

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream...

It was about time to get up, and Jaye had barely slept, and she was just going to cover her face with a pillow like it helped.

Copacabana Palace - Pérgula Restaurant

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

At the poolside Pérgula Restaurant (http://www.copacabanapalace.com/web/orio/pergula_restaurant.jsp), guests can enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet, buffet or à la carte lunch (http://www.orient-express.com/pdfs/orio_menu_pergula_06_2011.pdf) and al fresco dinners in relaxed surroundings. Tables are available both in the air-conditioned restaurant, or on the terrace overlooking the legendary Copacabana swimming pool.

Dany rose early, dressing in a light, loose gown before heading to breakfast. She loaded up her plate with anything she didn't recognize, determined to try something, and found herself a table on the terrace. She ate slowly, hiding a few scraps in her napkin. The dragons had to eat, too, even if she wasn't willing to bring them out to be stared at.

Though really, she didn't care. They already clearly thought she was eccentric here.

Really, Peter was starting to consider the idea of maybe leaving the hotel sometime this week, just to get an idea of what the people of this time and place were like. He'd have to be a citizen of the world, of course, if he ever got to be Hegemon, so that was important.

Sadly, at the moment, he was just sticking to the idea here, since he still had way too much to do.

So: breakfast, laptop, part two.

Jace had no idea what time it was in New York but he was gonna be spending his morning texting Alec while nibbling at a plate of food from the breakfast buffet.

And, okay, checking out hot waitresses as well.

Annie was having breakfast on the terrace today. How often did you get to have breakfast on a terrace? People-watching was surprisingly fun and she was as relaxed as she ever got.

Which meant there had to be another shoe to be dropped, right? Whatever, there was breakfast on a terrace right now.

Copacabana Palace - Spa

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

This sophisticated urban sanctuary (http://www.copacabanapalace.com/web/orio/copacabana_palace_spa.jsp) has a contemporary design and features seven treatment rooms, two dual treatment suites, a fitness room, hair salon, sauna, steam bath and relaxation area.

Shock of shocks, Bruce started the early morning on the treadmill in the fitness room. Yes, that would be happening every day this week.

Every once in a while you had to pamper yourself, and so Stacey had to try the spa today. She'd gotten the massage and haircut/styling already, and she'd be going for the manicure if she could ever decide on a color...

"I am never. Leaving," Kenzi said, eyes shut as she got a massage. "Yaaaaay break."

Copacabana Palace - Pool

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

The magnificent swimming pool (http://www.copacabanapalace.com/web/orio/swimming_pool.jsp) at the Copacabana Palace has long drawn stars and royalty alike to sunbathe, swim and socialize. Everyone from Carmen Miranda to Rod Stewart has been seen soaking up the sun around the Copacabana pool, which is open 24 hours a day.

It wasn't the sea, but if anything had to be a substitute... Kate would choose this.

She'd forgone her morning run in favour of a few laps, but that done had now opted for the far more relaxing option of floating on her back and enjoying the morning sun.

Who said she couldn't relax?

Hanna didn't quite make it to the beach today. She opted, instead, to lounge by the pool. Maybe she would actually swim later, too.

The pool was not the beach, but Luke had to work his way up to actually going out there. You know, the place with the big water with all the sea life and psychopaths that could kill him.

...he was never gonna get over Rapture, no.

The pool was also a great place to get a Tequila Sunrise to chase over his hangover from the night before. Booze has been a great helper in the fight to be able to sleep with his ex in the same room.

Matt was back at his spot at the pool. Under the shade of an umbrella he was settled back with a book (Braille of course) and was... studying.

Yes. Matt was doing homework on spring break.

Clearly he knows how to have a good time.

Rio de Janeiro - The Copacabana Beach

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Steps away from the hotel is one of the most famous beaches (http://tripideas.org/copacabana-beach-rio-de-janeiro-brazil) in the world, where it might not be relaxing to lay out and catch the sun's rays, but it will definitely never be boring.

Rio de Janeiro - Tijuca Forest Tour

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Explore Rio de Janeiro in a fancy and fun way on convertible hummer-style jeeps (http://www.rio-carnival.net/Store/ToursDetails.aspx?cod=61)! Within the Floresta da Tijuca lies the largest urban park in Brazil. A veritable oasis in the midst of the city, it is particularly refreshing during the days of summer. The park has various walking trails—many of them quite easy—waterfalls where you can stop for a drink (or a dip), grottoes, and many lookout points that offer stunning views of the city.

Rio de Janeiro - Helicopter Tours

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

World renowned for its natural beauty, the city of Rio de Janeiro is the perfect place for sightseeing by helicopter. Get to view Rio de Janeiro from the air (http://www.rio-carnival.net/tour-rio-de-janeiro.php) and take spectacular photos of the city, nestled among lush, forest-covered mountains, a charming lake, the Guanabara Bay, with the Atlantic Ocean twinkling at their feet.

I want cookies.

I have leftover strawberry banana pancakes if you want them.

Re: OOC

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

I have these (http://www.thenovicechefblog.com/2012/01/marbled-red-velvet-cheesecake-brownies/). They're a week old, but I'm making them into milkshakes later.
