Arrived in Belem after an exhausting 48 hours bus ride from Lençois. Both sleep deprived as the ladies we sat next to thought they had booked double seats! At least we were both kept warm :) Finding the bus journeys especially difficult, air conditioning on full blast and no Shania twain videos to keep us company on this particular journey. Sitting in the same seat for numerous hours on end left us with numb bums!!!! Stiff necks and we were very pongy to say the least.
Difficult to stay healthy on such a lengthy journey as the food isn´t very appealing in motorway cafe´s especially with the addition of bugs and insects! So sugar fuelled biscuits, chocolate and ice creams were our salvation.
No portuguese to help us fathom when we would arrive in Belem, even maz´s infamous sign language we´ve noticed is not universal! A tip would be to learn the language before coming to such a large country.....once we get to Peru we will be investing in some spanish lessons as the rest of South America speak spanish.
Anyway we are now with a wonderful couch surfer and his family, have met them today and will be staying a few nights, unsure of where we will go from here but will keep you all posted.
Lots of Love
