juhuuu, we were not eaten by piranhas, we are still stuck with the monkey! Vani and I are (of course already on the last Tuesday) arrived safely back in Fortaleza and have successfully completed the jungle adventure. :-)
On Thursday morning in the plane, we have already experienced the first surprise, as a commercial airline TAM has been shown and as someone who spoke German. When I looked up, I thought "hm somehow you know the actor, and then have I looked at Vani and I feel like the scales from your eyes. It was Jonathan, a student of us, but already one year on. It was really funny. The world is just a village. After we landed in Belém, we also had the chance again to see the spot and mitzufilmen.
From the airport in Manaus we took the bus into the center and was once again a typical Brazilian. We did not get off course, where we have to, so we have asked and when we arrived at the center, has discussed the whole bus, so to speak out because it would be best now to get out. At the hotel there was first a problem because Expedia has not paid the money , but had a 20-minute waiting period was also achieved.
After 've made just recently, we have also already made the trip because we had not much time until it was dark and we wanted to explore but still a bit Manaus. The city itself is really nice, but very much to see at the end there was not. We started our tour at the theater and are again passed through the city to the port on the Rio Negro, and that was it also a way. We were soon back again, that was time for a nap yet, until we have made again later on the way to dinner and again at the theater passed are. There it was so beautiful with lights and live music that we sat down again as well as short and round off the evening have.
Friday morning we were picked up on time after a great breakfast at 8 at the hotel and brought to the harbor, where our guide Ceciliano and his wife have been waiting for us. First we went by speed boat to the "Encontro das Aguas". This is the place where the Rio Negro (black) and the Rio Solimoes (white) meet and form the Amazon. The exciting thing is that the two rivers, because of their different water temperatures and densities do not mix and for a while "black & white" side by side . Herfließen On the other side of the Rio Negro yet arrived, the last purchases made and then it went with the VW bus on the Transamazonica (a road that was originally designed to link Manaus and the coast, but completed never was) deeper into the rain forest. After an approximately 1-hour drive, we are then switched into a boat again in order to drive about an hour.
After an eternity, we felt then that is also arrived and the house of our guide is actually reachable only by boat. During the following days we have also lived in Ceciliano and his family and could therefore meet the full rain forest life. According to the noon we are guided to a small but fine beach for swimming and fishing Ahren then to the piranhas. Fishing can be called that, because we only had a cord with a hook on it and so we had to cope somehow. It was really fun and at the beginning not so easy, but in the end I had 5 on my line and later on my plate and they were really delicious. It was a surprise but still. When we were fishing at, one was heard to rain. Is well known, not unusual, but we are of course our rain-free weather Fortaleza and had not used our rain jackets there. So we sat in the boat first, thinking bad luck, but then it got really uncomfortable and guide his jacket has shared with us. Since it has not stopped even for ever, we went down to a floating house and have since been under.
After dinner it was then off again into the boat, because we wanted to observe crocodiles. But the w ar first less exciting because of the clear night sky was much nicer. I think not lying when I say that I've never seen soooo many stars. However, there were many crocodiles. Ceciliano always has been searched with a flashlight and the banks have shone the eyes of the Krok's always right. At some point he has also managed to catch a little and we "allowed" to hold it sometimes. Since was even just a small fish in the mouth.
So, that was the first part and before coming back complaints that it is too much follows the 2 Part in a few days! :-)
