SANTAREM
Last night we had to change our plans for dinner as Norma had a sudden bout of nausea. She justifies eating a huge breakfast and lunch today as she only had a cracker for dinner last night.
We woke up this morning to a dark and gloomy sky and docked in Santarem on the Rio Tapajos. We didn't mind this as we watched river dolphins frolicking in the water just off our balcony and saw another meeting-of-the-waters. Soon the rain started and we were relieved that we had cancelled our shore excursion. We planned to walk along the waterfront promenade but instead of being close to the boat, it was a shuttle ride away. We noticed that many people opted out of the tours because of the rain.
We both enjoyed our afternoon naps and just made it for Trivia. We meet Kevin and Isabella, Trudy - from Toronto, and Mary from Ottawa. We usually score at the bottom of the barrel but today, we came second and if Norma hadn't made me change LaSalle to LaVerandre, we would have tied for first!
We leave Brazil tonight and enjoy another sea day tomorrow before landing on Devil's Island, French Guiana, on Friday.
