Boats from Belem
... talking all day to get to know my friends again was a real treat. I think I overliked Colombia before knowing the real Brazil. Maybe it is the reason for the currency name but they are "real" people, no preconceptions or snooty noses, at ...
Settled
... . This is only a problem when I need to catch a bus at 12:30 and there isn't anything to eat yet. But as this is Brazil, being 15-30 minutes late is expected. People just don't do "stuff" like Americans. Life here is not as busy. The majority cannot ...

Brazil - The Amazon
... I've been feeding the kid beers since we got on the boat! Oh well, if supplying a minor with alcohol is the worst sin I commit in Brazil then I can probably count myself lucky. I mean, we were on a boat. What was he gonna do? Get drunk and jump in the ...
Sobre como subi ao palco de Itaúnas
Olá! Hoje á noite fizemos um forró aqui na pousada, junto com o pessoal dos 3 de Maria (SP) e Forró di Bob (ES). Foi um intercâmbio musical legal. No final do fuá me fizeram a proposta de tocar com Forró di Bob no festival. A apresentação seria ...

Bye Bye Teresina :/
Ostatni dzień w Teresinie. Oczywiście od rana pełno atrakcji. Międzyinnymi brak wody. Co gorsza dowiedziałem się o tym zaraz po tym jak w muszli zostawiłem pokaźnych rozmiarów stolec;) dlatego ...
Alle porte dell' Amazonia... Cercando una barca!
Doveva essere solo una tappa di passaggio, senza troppe aspettative ne sulla cittá ne sulle onde positive di questa cittá... e invece... Si é rivelata una gran bella sorpresa: una cittá attiva culturalmente e piena di persone comunicative! Il caso ha ...
Ver-o-peso
A free market located right along the bank of the delta and the oldest part of Belem. Vero o peso means 'check weigh' as initially this was the place where Portuguese established check point for weighting goods in order to impose taxes. It ...
Manaus to Belem
So, as it turns out we travelled the whole legnth of the Amazon River. This jouney on Cisne Branco took 4 nights. Didn´t really have the same feeling of adventure as the last boat and we´d didn´t get to know many people. It was more people travelling ...
From Manaus to Belem, by ship
We took a ship from Manaus to Belem. It took us 5 days (wednesday afternoon to Sunday noon), and it was a good trip. A hectic departure from Manaus, facilitated by a travel agency, so we showed up to find our hammocks in place. Much better than ...
River meets the coast
... Huge fish of all sorts were laid out for the buyers to choose. As we left we discovered that almost all the smaller streets in Belem were just crammed full of more market stalls. We got back to the hostel and along with Erica, Louis and Frank headed out ...
Belem.....no obrigado...
... in Belem in the evening, the town which was described to me to be one of the poorest and most dangerous towns in Brazil, not exactlty what I desired, especially not with the evening call of in the port, ports being definitely not a place to linger ...

Out in Amazonia, the water runs brown...
... to see him, and we caught up over drinks and dinner, met a few locals and played pool, then made plans to leave stinky rainy Belem as soon as we could. Fortaleza was to be our next stop - as the closest place to get to Jericoacoara, a place which truly ...
