August 8

The Caipirinha is up there with strong drinks that I have tried

The explosion of lime and sugar left me watery eyed

Then the cachaca hit, Brazil's favourite spirit

To finish a Caipirinha is not luck, you get there on merit

The majority of Rio partying happens on the street

The crowd surges and sways to a samba beat

The Rio Olympics, we made it in one piece!

Time to grab the togs out of the bag and ditch the fleece
