In Manaus now. Only took two days from Paramaribo, but two long days they were. Many hot long hours in crammed buses, and a few ferry rides in Guyana. Didn´t stop long in any one place...not really any places I wanted to stop in anyway, especially Guyana. I´ve heard it´s a dangerous place and Í believe what I hear. All went well though. Was worried about bandits in Guayan. Heard from a Danish tourist that they frequently stop the buses and take off with all the luggage, leaving all the passengers stranded in the middle or nowhere. Lukily we never encountered them.

Manaus is cool. Seems like Brazil is too. Never really considered making it a priority to see, but now I´m reconsidering.

Traveled with four good friends from PC Suriname. We only spent two days on the road and three days together here before they left today on a boat going up the Amazon to Belem. My flight to Porto Velho is late tonight and I hope to be in Bolivia tomorrow afternoon. More from there.
