24th October, Saturday, 6:00 clock, São Paulo
Before departure, I found one about the weather in Manaus to me for the worst (at least mentally) to prepare.
>> Wait for us daily approximately 35-40 ° C (with the "cool" than on Thursday. There is allegedly only have 31 ° C).
clock 11:00, Manaus
arrived at the airport we got a pretty violent so-called " Luftdetschn " (too German "air slap"), since the airport was air-conditioned and the difference to the approximately 35 ° C outside but very ... well, let's say "felt" was.
The hotel can only be with the boat achieve: First you have to be transported with a kind of ferry and then with a small motor boat.
The hotel complex is quite large and hardly manageable because the houses are all hidden somewhere among the bushes and trees.
As introduction to the hotel we got the useful information that a species of lynx cheetah or any other dangerous, large, cat-like animals here occasionally makes his rounds. Added about 2 weeks were 6 dogs that creature to devour. Now I feel really safe! (You notice the irony in my statement)
In the Amazon there are only 2 seasons : dry and rainy seasons. Right now the dry season. The temperatures are always quite the same, no matter what time of year.
So it's always hot here, what have we got to feel belonging. Almost every day we cross the 35 ° C mark. Add to that the high humidity, which means that it is basically the "I'm just out of the shower-wet
The river water looks very muddy and dirty. The mosquitoes do not like it what is the reason that there is virtually no pesky insects are, therefore, but also fewer fish (compared to Amazon).
swimming should definitely not be here unless you want to end up as either crocodile or piranha feed. The latter we have now witnessed the fish. (We have fished with real meat and fish have pulled literally from its hinges. Unfortunately, we only have 3 prisoners. Not so easy because the critters, the bait always chew until it is finally gone.)
But the icing on the cake come:
Coincidentally, we were on the move (among others) with a young Australian couple. They are originally from Sri Lanka, but living in Sydney. You have unfortunately no Australian accent.
But as fate will, these are not the only Australians in the jungle hotel. At least two middle-aged men come from the most beautiful country in the world.
Every time the two "Mates" talk to each other, I melt away, but not because of the heat, but because I just love the accent so much.
one has even spoken to me with - Cake. : D
Unfortunately, the two Australian gentlemen too old for me, otherwise I would probably come home married. But I have my future (Australian) husband already found, thanks to my "dear friend" July!
Oh yes, our tour group consists of:
- a Japanese
- a Canadian couple
- an Australian couple and
- us.
clock 21:30
has today started the program immediately. By 14 clock we made a tour by boat and our guide (his name is Eddie) told us some things on climate, animals, river, etc. Finally, we went fishing in a river. Our tour group caught a total of 3 fish.
to dusk at 17:30 clock was announced crocodile search. 
We went back by boat through the surrounding creeks around the bright lights in the eyes to follow. Eddie began even 2 young crocodiles for us. We were allowed to keep both, as you can see in the photos. It was noteworthy that both the guidebook "crocodilos" barefoot started! Pretty brave!
After the tour we went crocodile-like dinner. "Coincidentally," the two Australians were sitting at the table next to us. :)
