So here we are in Manaus and the first leg of our trip.............2nd if you count stop over at Florida airport the night we arrived. Yesterday Javento our guide showed us the sites of Manaus, most memorable being the 19 th cent. buildings built late in the cent when Manaus had made its money from rubber. A big opera house which I suspect does more pop concerts than opera and the colonial style home of a rubber baron. Both worth the visit. Also visited museum of the lives of the indigenous Indian people. That was v. interesting and something we'll hear much more of later and will fill you in on as we go along. Have to dash off now for hair apt! Rich will finish off.
Having camera iPad connection issues so not much in the way of photos only those taken on the iPhone are being downloaded via iCloud
One picture of the hotel. Fairly old in style and management. One picture of the new bridge where the river narrows to 3.5 km. Some places around here are 12km. Manaus is around 1000 miles from the mouth.
