    Belém

    12. januar, Brasilien ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F

    We moored in Guajará Bay and tendered in to Icoaraci Pier. From there we took a shuttle bus ~55 min to Belém. Belém is the capital of the state of Pará in Brazil.
    We visited Mercado Ver-O-Peso which translates to 'Check the Weight Market'; named from colonial times when Portuguese officials weighed goods to levy taxes.
    We walked along the waterfront to Forte do Presépio (Fort of the Nativity): a Portuguese military fortification built in 1616.
    We wandered through a few streets in search of Mangal das Garças (trans: Mangrove of the Herons): a sort of botanic gardens of Belém. Lots to see there.

  • Devil's Island ....

    11. januar, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌬 81 °F

    We were really looking forward to this stop. We attended the 'port discussion ' presentation on board. . . the ship showed the original Papillon movie which gave us a little insight into the prison conditions . . . we were pretty intrigued!
    Unfortunately due to some sanitation-maintenance issues on the island, they were unable to send a port guide to us (apparently a requirement). As such, we could only view it from afar. :(

    Oh well, just another 'something' to look forward to next time! :)
