Amazon IV

Dimitri, Declan, Sam and me went to the harbor a found the biggest passenger boat I saw so far. Now there were a lot of gringos visible and brasilian turists. Hammocks were as close as always, but there was also a whole deck with suites for the wealthy. People got drunk most of the time. The Amazon was now extremely wide. Thats why we were not able to see a lot of trees. At the end of the Amazon their is a little island of the size of Switzerland.
We mostly played cards all day. Thats also when I got to know the beautifull Liane from Romania. We had a really nice chat and I suppose we would of travelled on together if she wouldn't had to go on so fast to Rio.
The next morning we arrived in Belem. That meant that my month long journey along the river came to it's end. I enjoyed it a lot - the good and the bad parts - and was able to refresh my batteries while reflecting on the journey behind me and thinking of the adventures that are still to come.
