Arrived in Manaus at 4AM, after two nights on the boat. Got off the boat after sunrise, at 6AM. Took a taxi to Hostel Manaus, 25 BRL for 2 taxis / 5 people (we were joined by other travelers: a Norvegian, an Egyptian and a French).
Cannot check in before midday, but they have wireless, so just hanging out till then. Maybe get breakfast at some point.
Activities to be done in Manaus:

Kuidas džungel on? Pange mingeid huvitavaid pilte ka, Kaarel ja Csilla laevas näiteks või midagi sellist. Ja ära siis otse jõkke kuse, pisike okkaline kala võib parasiteerima tulla :)
ReplyDeleteThe jungle in Tapajos National Park, close to Alter do Chao was not very deep, there were plantations all around. But they said it was a primary rain forest.
ReplyDeleteStill, we saw many animals: big butterflies, frogs and grasshoppers. No mammals though, apart from some white monkeys.
