| An old tiled building in Sao Luis |
 |
| The lovely old church - nearly in ruins at Alacantra - note the whipping post in front. Here the slaves were whipped! |
 |
| The very rare ibis - pity about the photo |
 |
| Shower time on the barge - truckie style |
 |
| Watching the river views |
 |
| A barge load of timber |
 |
| One of the many tiny native villages on the river |
 |
| Children out in their canoes - the river is their playground |
 |
| Another barge full of trucks |
 |
| The locals come out to meet us |
 |
| More village scenery! As you can image I took lots of photos!! |
 |
| We have visitors |
 |
| Not sure what they are collecting - maybe the bamboo shoot thingys we bought |
 |
| A lovely wooden boat being built in one of the villages |
 |
| We have finally arrived - not too far from Macapa |
 |
| Us at Monumento Marka Zero - second time we have driven across the equator |
 |
| A great camp spot - swim included |
 |
| Fantastic - a tarsealed road |
 |
| Oh no!! Roadworks |
 |
| Life on the riverways |
 |
| We met this little fellow crossing the road. Such a funny little uncoordinated thing |
 |
| Who can resist such an adorable little face like this - our first sloth |
 |
| We crossed 32 of these bridges. There is an old one on the other side, and an even older one this side - in the water |
 |
| The red dirt road - no rain! We are told that in the wet it gets closed quite frequently |
 |
| At the end of the road a bridge to French Guyana - it has been finished for a year but is still not open! Crazy crazy place!! |
