As ever, I was sad to leave a city which, because I had selected a river cruise, I only saw at a distance from the waterway. It was very hot, and walking around would have been exhausting.
It’s going to be hotter tomorrow, around 35 degrees Celsius.
After returning from my afternoon trip, I took my belongings back to my stateroom and then left the ship for a second time to raid the souvenir stalls. I came away with the usual t-shirts, baseball cap, and a “trilby” made in China out of 100% paper! U.S. Dollars seem to be the order of the day in Brazil, and change was also in U.S. currency.
We have one final day on the Amazon tomorrow, entering the Atlantic at around midnight, Tonight, I join Roger and Nona for dinner in the Alternative Dining on Deck 9. This I believe is “Corriander” night (Indian Cuisine.)
More writings tomorrow; thanks for reading,
