After arriving in the middle of the night, me and the Australians decided to spent the rest o
f the night in the hammock at the port. In the morning we checked into one of these hostels, that have huge rooms with high cealings. We pretty much went on for a daytrip to the small village called Altar do Chau which is famous for white sandbeaches along the river. But since the water was much higher than usual, we saw a lot of flooded houses and no beaches. Thats why are visit was fairly short. (2 beers)

(2 beers)Santarem is the major port up the Amazon river beside of Manaus. Taking into account it's size, Santarem is pretty sleepy. The riverfront i
s pitoresque and offers space to the hunderds of small and big boats. The Australians didn't have enough patience to wait for the boat that would have left in 5 days. So they took a ridiculous 72 hours bus from Santarem all the way to Sao Luis. Those 72 hours depend on good weather a generally luck.
A "perfect storm" diarreha screwed up my plans to go to the nearby jungle. So it was all about killing time with books, Internet and whatching other people living their daily lives at the harbor and the market.
