Hilton Belem Hotel

Before embarking on the two day boat journey to Belém, as it was Friday night I thought it would be rude not to sample the nightlife that Santarém has to offer.

Despite being warned that Friday night is traditionally the night that the younger crowd head into town in Santarém, myself and two 33-year old ...

... our asses off in the busy Brasilian port of Belém. We´re traveling in a burgundy colored Subaru Forester that we call Bruce. From the Venezuelan coast we crossed the plains and ascended to the Gran Sabana, one of the coolest landscapes I´ve ever seen.  My câmera was out of batteries at the moment, so the beautiful prehistoric landscapes will not find their way into this ***** blog.

... delights along the river. I can´t remember a more relaxing 2 days, fishing and swimming in the hammock as the boat floated along the flooded (highest in 25+ years) river. Caught my first Piranha which was almost as pleasing as viewing Ruari´s grand total of 1 fish, or perhaps tadpole, to my 5! We returned to Itaituba in time for our now drunk capitain to to take on a few friends & fresh supplies for dinner on the river. Coming home at dawn on Sat & Sun mornings left us a ...
