After trying to find an ATM in town that worked, we headed to Tucurui, our destination for today. 400 kms and we hear. that only 80 or so are dirt. Yeah!
Another beautiful day in paradise. This eastern part of the Amazon seems more lived in. No fires (they probably happened 50-100 years ago), the farms and ranches and towns seem more established and more developed. It certainly feels like we are getting back to civilization slowly.
As we got closer to Tucurui, there was water everywhere. Rivers, lakes, in every nook and cranny between the hills. This is a big delta. Beautiful.
After arriving to the hotel, got a message that Wouter had hit a car in town 1km from the hotel ... so I went back to see if I could help talk to the police who wanted to take Wouter to the station. At the end, got all the parties to calm down and walk away and go home ... with a smile : ) Actually, the 3 policemen where nice, helpful, and happy to make this thing go away. All good, fixed Wouter's motorcycle front end misalignment and we are now ready for tomorrow's ride.
Tomorrow, we head to the big city of Belem on the Atlantic coast to celebrate our crossing from one ocean to the other!
