• Afternoon trip.

    March 4, 2023 in Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    We back from our afternoon "game drive".....more like bird and tree viewing. In the Tender Boats.
    Some amazing birds. And trees.....the water line is 5m above the present river level.
    Got caught in a heavy rain storm....it rains every 2 hours hence the name Rain Forest. We are in the middle of the Amazon Jungle.
    We stopped at a floating house that turned out to be a Grocery Store, Restaurant and Bar. To take refuge from the rain. When you look at the house it looks like any other house on the river.
    Well, while waiting for the rain to stop ...and it was bucketing down....we had a beer.
    Now back on the Mother Ship.
    But very wet.
    Nothing dries here because of the humidity.
    I put our shoes out to dry in the sun, and whilst reading about the Amazon, it suddenly started to rain.....my shoes are now wetter than the were before I put them out. Rains in seconds
