Sunday, Aug 1
After the morning preparations to leave our Pousada (Aires de Noronha) and the affectionate adeuses to the dona, sweet Etilene, we still managed to visit the famous Baìa dos Porcos and Cacimba dos Padres beaches, both worth the world record of the most beautiful beaches as well! Another adeus to Cristiano and his wife Isa at their Cachorrao Restaurant on the Praia do Cachorro, a live Interview with Radio 24 (Italy) and off we go to the airport for our 16:30 GOL flight. We are all very sad to leave this wonderful place, and a little nervous we won't like anything else of the trip after so much beauty.
… welcome to the forest city - We arrive in Manaus at 2 am on Aug 2, after a tiring trip through Recife and Fortaleza. In spite of the late arrival, the kids are fully awake and curious to get their first feel of the Amazon capital. Maxine is the first one to spot "the jungle !!!" as soon as we leave the airport in the taxi. A scientific discussion starts between the three kids (while all the adults want is sleep!) about the difference between jungle, forest and rainforest. We try to shut them out by telling them to ask the INPA scientists tomorrow … actually today! Only a few hours sleep separate us form the beginning of our first day in Manaus.
