Hotel Intercity Premium Cuiaba

... a rest day, did officially nothing for the entire day, went for brief walk in the morning to buy some food and lay in the hammock in my room for most of the day. The air conditioner was set to extra cold, nice! Went out in the evening to an expensive pizza joint down the road like I did the previous night. The only place I could find open on a Sunday in the city. I've been warned by the hostel owner not to venture to far, he said the city is dangerous by night. Was so ...

... the airport our journey began setting out on a straight road that seemed endless. After 2 hours of driving we stopped for lunch at a traditional Churrascaria (BBQ). Luckily no-one in our group was a vegetarian, it would have proved to be a challenging four days otherwise. Some of the tastiest meat we had was from the hump of the cow. Again fascinatingly these animals have adapted to the sweltering heat and all their fat is stored in this hump to help keep the rest of their bodies cool ...

... der vi maatte gaa, og vi, som om det var en tur i parken, vi gikk!!! Vi foelte oss kjempetoeffe. Broen vi maatte krysse med alle de skarpe tennene rundt den; det er kanskje det skumleste Live noengang har gjort! En slange her og der ble jo barnemat! Ellers ble dagene fylt med: Ridning, morgentur (06- 08 - puh!), baatafari, nattsafari paa lastebil og fiske etter Piranha. Oksekjoett som agn ...

... Cameron the keys to the work car and gave us some directions - ¨stay on this road for another 40km, then turn left¨. Ok, easy. Elias had to rescue his own car from where we had spotted it a few kms back being used by some strange locals to collect water near the creek... We were grinning ear to ear, delighted to be in charge of our own set of wheels for a while. It was only about 20km down the Transpantenera Road when the wildlife started to thicken. First the pastoral ...

... her way further north than us though, heading into the Amazon for a few weeks. She was hoping to hang out with the indigenous folks and learn some tricks for her trade. We also had our iPod for entertainment, but unfortunately the humidity is playing havoc with it. We have Googled our problem, and diagnosed "The White Screen of Death". Basically, there is no menu, only a bright white screen when we turn it on. Fortunately, when we plug the headphones in, we can still get ...

... back?!" My response was colourfully in the negative. <br><br>We didn't see much for the first 30 minutes or so, a few birds but nothing new, so we feared this was all going to be a bit of a waste of time. <br><br>It was also very cloudy overhead, so ...

... the photo above, all hell broke loose! <br><br>I had a good view of what happened from the back... I think that one of the horses didn't see a wire fence which was partially submerged under the water. <br><br>It walked into this fence and then had to turn ...

... monster!), from where we sped across to the far side of the water and dropped a rather flimsy anchor. <br><br>Katie and I were then handed a bamboo stick each with a fishing line attached (VERY technical) and we were somewhat unimpressed when both the boat driver and our guide pulled out flash fishing rods for themselves! Bloody cheek. Customer is King? Ever heard of that?!<br><br>The other group (the Dutch women) pulled up next to us, about 75 yards away and one of ...

... a large truck had got stuck in the mud earlier and was in the process of being pulled out by a tractor! Grrrreat... <br><br> <br><br>Either way you looked at it, it didn't look good.<br><br> <br><br>We got out to investigate, Katie deciding to wade through the water to see how deep it was (knee high) before we left ...

... o. E foi justamente o que aconteceu ela disse que seria bom se fizessemos adoração na frente da Reitoria. Eu disse que iria orar para que Deus confirmasse. Fui me deitar e sonhei com o Lucas. Na verdade o Lucas é um adorador extravagante. E quando fui ao banheiro durante a madrugada vi um inseto: louva-a-Deus. Fiquei com a boca aberta olhando para o inseto. Foi muito engraçado! então tivemos a confirmação da direção de Deus para aquele ...
