Sugar Loaf Mountain

Probably one of the most spectacular sites that Stanley and I saw was Sugar Loaf Mountain.  We hopped in a cable car.  Good thing that Stanley and I aren't afraid of heights.  We quickly found ourselves at the half-way point, Morra do Urca.  We exited the cable car and looked around for a bit.  We then hopped in another car and we went all the way to the top.  The view was amazing.  We also had time to explore in the forest on the mountain.

This is what the cable car looks like.

Glad we didn't go up the mountain this way!

The view of the station from the cable car.

Amazing!

The original cable car.  Hmmm...not sure I would want to ride in that!

Once at the top of the mountain, we got to explore the forest.  Here is bamboo.
