Our World Journey

Brazil

This blog decribes our 11 days of travel through the Brazilian Amazon (25 July 2006 - 5 August 2006). He hung out in our hammock on a cargo boat down the Amazon river, explored the jungle and then made haste to flee to a cheaper country...

To Tabatinga (Brazil)

The 12 hour speed boat ride was great as was the little town where we got stamped out of Peru - very laid back and viby typical Amazonian town. Tabatinga (this is now Brazil which suddenly makes things expensive and Portuguese!) was a bit draining at first. Extremely hot and Humid. Now the mototaxis were just small motorbikes with no carriages (although some drivers wear vests with handles built into their sides!) and car taxis are very expensive. We managed to find hotel, immigration, a bank ATM that would accept our card and even a coconut or 4 and settled into our hotel. Amazing how things can change so suddenly when you cross a border...
