Today is the first of four days, one completing our downstream transit of the Amazon River, and the other three, at sea.
At, around 09.00 this morning, we left the southern hemisphere for a short while as we approached the Amazon Delta.
At 20 00hrs or thereabouts, having cleared the “Amazon Bar,” we bid a fond farewell to the world’s second longest river, and we head south to Salvador.
After yesterday’s activities, today, I am doing very little today. This morning, I escaped the heat to attend Sue Bowler’s second lecture, “No Place Like Home.” Her subject covered an account of how the earth’s vastly underground movements were researched leading to a much more qualified understanding of earthquakes and tsunamis. Another highly detailed presentation.
