Back in Sao Luis I took in the morning city bus 403 (1,70 reais) to the New City on the other side of the river where the best beaches are… The one in Calhau looks to be nicest, but can you try to survive there in the temperature of 40 deg Celsius? Ufff… But the place is nice with a palms and bars – just for the pictures.
I am getting ready for the evening flight to Manaus. I study the last expensive way to get to the airport (the taxi cost 35 reais). There are motocycle taxis in the town – they will charge me like 3-4 reais for the ride to the Praca Deodoro and then there is city bus for 1,70 called Sao Cristovao to the airport terminal. That´s the backpackers life! You have to save your pennies! Buses are rare, so it is advisable to allow plenty of time…
It seems that I´ll spent St Valentine´s Day in the hot capital of the Amazonia. Best wishes to all lovers!
