Brazil - The Amazon

River boats in Manaus - as we depart the port on our five day boat trip down the Amazon River to the coast.


Sleeping accommodations in hammock class - during rough weather you really got to know your neighbours

One of the many river towns we called in to - to load and drop off cargo and passengers, most of which were only accessible by river



One of the many kids who paddled out to see our boat go past


A vendor climbing aboard our boat to sell his produce - fruit in this case. Our boat didn't stop for them but they were able to hook their boats on to ours as we sped past, and climb aboard.


One of the many house boats on the Amazon


Housing Amazon style
