Crowne Plaza Belem Bela Vista

Well after another 20+ hour bus ride (27 hours this one!) I´m now in Belém where I hope to catch a boat up the Amazon river.<br><br>It is very hot here (but not quite Middle east hot but close) also very Humid...<br><br>Thought I´s give some travelers tips out.<br><br>Tip 1<br>When going on a long bus ride don´t consule a leter of high fiber drink just befor ...

I love handicraft.<br>Brazil is such a rich country in what regards handicraft.<br>I am always surprised with the diversity and beauty of handicraft I find in Brazil.<br>Every little region seems to have its own type of work using a wide range of materials and techniques.<br>It was very nice to meet the artists who produce and replicate the traditional pottery of the region, with special attention to pottery from the Marajó region.

Back on dry land again, we teamed up with Alex and headed to our hostel, spread ourselves out all over the place and had a long overdue shower. Job done and smelling like roses again we headed off to buy our bus tickets for the next day, get some money and some groceries. We gave the local bus services a try and they seemed to work really well... this time. Later on would prove to be another story... Another little hitch was no electricity and ...

In a desperate bid to curb the 'trend' of excessive eating and after having been warned to avoid the food served on board, we armed ourselves with water, tinned viennas, tuna, rolls and fruit and were escorted to our boat in rather ridiculous heat we were pitting furiously on arrival...much to the amusement of the (MANY) locals on board.<br><br> We had been really looking forward to this 4 day trip of relaxing ...

A good job we did sleep since we did not dock until 8.30 a.m., and so had a good laugh at ourselves, and then managed to drive off about 9. We wanted to go to the tourist information office to get a map of the city and to find out where the garage was. We set off in the right direction, but once again found that there are almost no signposts at all and apart from the main roads, it is very difficult to get a road name. As usual this meant we got lost again and actually ...

We arrived in the early morning on the bus from Sao Luis that had taken us overnight through hundreds of kilometres of Brazilian coastline, we were couchsurfing again in Belem, with a guy called Janio, we called him from the rodoviaria, and he soon arrived to pick us up. First impressions, of Belem, well, it was a big city like any other we saw in Brazil, from the outskirts at least, we were soon rewarded with our first glimpse of the mighty Amazon river, Belem city centre ...
