Manaus, Brazil
Got up at 5am yesterday morning in Havana and the streets were in darkness. The hotel doorman managed to get me a Lada taxi (foreigners are not supposed to use them - ooops, no choice) and arrived at the airport to find that the check in lady couldn't find my reservation - aaaaargh, noooooo! All ended up ok though and I made it to Manaus in Brazil by mid-afternoon. Flying in was spectacular. Obviously I have seen the Amazon rainforest on the TV but I had no idea ...
