Up the river – The mighty Amazon
Sunday, April 17th, 200514 Apr – 17 Apr, 2005
Due to expensive flights from Cayenne, we ended up taking the surface travel option to head back towards Venezuela. This involves 4 nights on a boat on the Amazon, from Macapá near the mouth to Manaus.
Toucans, Macaws, and 2 types of river dolphins were the highlights. Lounging in hammocks for 5 days was nice, but the food, while perfectly edible and delicious the first time, was a bit boring when served with little or no variation for practically every meal.
Lord and Lady Muck. Relaxing on the Amazon. 4 days on the mighty river, from Macapá to Manaus, Brazil.
