Mamiraua office, Tefe

Still in down-town Tefe. Two more people will join the trip to the Uakari lodge but their flight from Manaus has been delayed, so we are waiting for them to arrive.

The Uakari lodge has electricity (from solar panels) but no internet or cell phone coverage. So we'll not be reachable (and cannot reach you) at least until Friday.

On Friday we try to get on a slow boat to Tabatinga which will be difficult because the boats don't really stop in Tefe (because Tefe is not on Solimoes). So it's unclear how this will work out. People here at the Mamiraua office speak English, but they also seem to be confused about how the boats operate here...
