I ended my time in Rio in style by visiting the Estádio do Maracanã at the invitation of Odebrecht, the construction company that renovated the stadium ready for the World Cup. What an amazing experience! Thanks to Amelia for organising and Luis for showing me around. And to Nadia for the lift & food!

Afterwards I was on the Maracana Facebook page! on.fb.me/1bIktCE
And here’s a couple of local press reports, including some great photos:
