Rio2016 Aug 9 Sugarloaf

Across the street from Parque Lage, I think we took 511 bus directly to Sugarloaf (Pao de Acucar). Brazilian buses have a gate just inside the front door with a person (not the driver) who collects the fare and lets you on. The ticket office (ingressos) is just to the right of the cable car station. The gondola takes you to a first mountain (Urca 220 meters) first, then to Sugarloaf (396 meters). You can see people rock climbing up the sides, which is probably why they require you to show your ticket for the return gondola. From Sugarloaf, I went to pick up event tickets at Cosport at Praia de Botafogo, not far away. Check my channel for how to get there. As with my other Rio2016 videos, you can see lots of people looking up at the little Gopro Hero 4 session camera I am holding like they didn't know what it was. Yes, at around 8:24 the gondola stopped and swung back and forth for a minute. I have no idea why but momentarily everyone looked at each other as if to say, "whoa, not a good place to get stuck".
