Nov 24, 2007 - Belem, which we wanted to leave sooner!!

From there it is four days up the river to Manaus by boat, but I had just found out my request to arrive a few days tardy in Peru for a job has been turned down, so I reluctantly bought a plane ticket out to gain me four days.I was happy someone finally robbed me.
