Day 24: Santarem

The maps below illustrate our progress to date (2/2/20) from the Caribbean (1st picture) to Manaus, and now, back to Santarem.

In a previous blog, I complained that prior to our arrival at Manaus, our timepieces should be advanced by 1 hour. (Already, my mobile phone had become “out of sync” with ship’s time.)

However, this wasn’t the case; but Santarem is just three hours behind G.M.T.

As instructed officially, I advanced my watch accordingly. I have a local river cruise booked for later today, which I shall write about soon after arriving back.

Our departure is somewhat earlier, shortly after 17.00hrs.

All the best, David, 08.53hrs local time.
