I do not know how they can navigate in the night without radar and any navigation lights on the islands. In the morning I recognized that we are sailing another channel, passing other boats from time to time. The knowledge of English is zero. I tried to ask another Brazilian passengers about expected time of arrival. Who knows…
30 deg Celsius and extreme high humidity… You are all the time sweaty, even without any effort!
In the midday we reached a huge riverarm with the port accommodating big sea vessels. Not, it is not Belem yet! … and we jumped to the next narrow channel framed by the tropical green on both sides. At 1 pm I saw in the distance the skycrapers of Belem. Great contrast! The jungle in the channel and a huge 1,4 mln people city just nearby… We disembarked at the little dock in the old town. I as happy to find my Residencia BB pension. It is time for the rest, the solid shower and loundry!
