The Death of a ´Stache and Birth of a Script
This is a top pick! A week ago, I was surfing TSN´s website for new NHL signings (Glen Sather should join Muckler in Shady Pines, by the way) when I noticed something in the ´TSN Broadband` section. ¨No, no, no,¨ I said out loud. Concerned, Sara asked me what was ...
The booze cruise.
This is a top pick! I have just arrived in Manaus, Brazil, after spending four days on a boat down the Rio Amazonas. It's my first visit to Brazil, and if I had language problems earlier on this trip, it will probably be nothing compared to the next few weeks. They speak ...
Still in Manaus

Massive city in the middle of the jungle?!
This is a top pick! Yesterday arrive in Manaus about 10am having driven through lots more jungle. The city is huge especially considering it is literally a port town in the middle of the Amazon. Quite sad really. We drive around and the first thing that hits me is the ...

Manaus

Arrival in Manaus, Brazil
This is a top pick! Manaus, Brazil It is a holiday today in Colombia -- but that is ok as we are about 1/4 of a mile away in Tabatinga, Brazil waiting for our flight to Manaus. Poured all morning -- and the tiny airport (our flight is the only one today) is delayed and ...
Manaus - Day 83-84

Terra Firma

Manaus

Finding money!
This is a top pick! ... got away with thousands before it was picked up. So with some local dosh and some very warm weather we ventured out to explore Manaus. The areas of interest in Manaus are few and very small – it amounts to a Cathedral built by Jesuits and, ...
The Mighty Amazon
This is a top pick! By hook and crock we manage to get ourselves to Manaus in Brazil and just hope that the last 24hours has been a bad dream and that the only problem with our cards are the Venezuelan ATM machines. We spent most of the previous evening and our journey in a ...
