Sailing down the Amazon We were awoken in the morning by the breakfast bell going off and clambered out of our hammocks having had a most successful nights sleep. I thought it was a success anyway due to the fact that my knots had remained firm and our hammocks hadnt fallen down in the middle of the night...see Dad I do remember some of what you taught me!!! We had strange breakfast of very sweet coffee and salted biscuits with margerine, this was all that was...

Beer and Hammocks. We had been advised to get to the docks at about 10am Brazilian time in order to be in the front of the queue. So with this in mind we were up at 8 and after a quick shower I went to find some food for both breakfast and lunch while Mae went on the internet to e-mail the tour company in Manaus and tell them which boat we are on.

On our way back we grabbed a taxi as it was passing, quickly said our goodbyes and piled all our stuff inside. We ended up taking a very roundabout way to the airpo...

Cici Aquapark A slightly earlier start to the day as we were up at 9.30 and after sorting a few bits on the internet we eventually went out to get some empanadas for breakfast along with a coffee. We then found ourselves once again on the Transmilenio bus system taking the same route as before to drop us somewhere near the water park. It wasn't as hot today as before so made quite a pleasant stroll alongside the parks until we finally reached the Cici Aqua Par...
