Map: (North)Eastern South America, Mar/April 2010
Map for (North)Eastern South America, 43 days on the ship Mar/April 2010. Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires, back to Rio, up and back the Amazon River, through the Caribbean to Fort Lauderdale and on to New York City. An interesting cruise, but not without its issues.... In most cities we were constantly watching our backs for potential crime which we were reminded of by ship staff and others before we left home. We left our DSLRs on the ship and took our smaller "point and shoot" cameras, but even then police and citizens stopped us and told us to put our cameras away because of the risk. Unlike all other countries we have cruised to, Brazil made a point of demonstrating their "power" and delayed us getting off the ship in many of their ports.
Another Dirty City, Mar/April 2010
Another dirty city. Mar/April 2010. (North)eastern South America Cruise. While it might not be fair, the large cities, particularly in Brazil, struck us as being quite dirty. In many locations we were constantly watching our backs for potential crime which we were constantly reminded of by ship staff and others before we left home.
But not all were dirty,NE South America 03/04 2010
But not all were dirty, NE South America 03/04 2010. Some of the smaller cities, and locations within the larger cities, were quite nice.
Montevideo, Uruguay, Mar 17, 2010
Montevideo, Uruguay, Mar 17, 2010. Our research had indicated that this was a great city to visit, but when we arrived we were handed a map by the local authorities and told to STAY ON the streets as marked. The streets as marked were less than appealing. They had police stationed on every corner of the first part of the route. The return route was dismal and had no police in evidence. After being warned by locals, we quickly went back the way we came. The central part was quite nice looking. The police, carrying automatic weapons, frequently traveled in groups of 2-3 with a dog.
Buenos Aires, Mar 18-19, 2010
Buenos Aires, March 18-19, 2010. We had an overnight in Buenos Airies which gave us more time to see things in this very large busy city
Rio de Janerio, Brazil. March 11 and 17, 2010
Rio de Janerio, Brazil. March 11 and 17, 2010. We had one full day in the city before our cruise ship left and had a second day when the ship returned before it continued north. We hired different local guides for each day to see the city. Both guides were very knowledgable, but very cautious as to where they woudl take us and what cameras we could use. They much preferred we use our "point and shoots" vs the dSLRs due to the crime.
Amazon River, April 4-12, 2010
Amazon River, April 4-12, 2010. The ship sailed 700 miles up the river to Manaus. A large city with a population of over 2,000,000. Cruise ships can go up the Amazon only when the river is high and then only ships drawing less than 30 feet. The river is wide at its mouth and the narrows down somewhat. There are villages and cities along the shoreline.
Manaus, Brazil. April 9-10, 2010
Manaus, Brazil. April 9-10, 2010. This is the farthest up river the ship went. It is a large city with a population over 2,000,000. Upstream some 700 miles from the Atlantic. We opted for nature oriented excursions and did not spent time in the city (or at its world-class Opera House)
The "Meeting of the Waters". Manaus. Apr 10, 2010
The "Meeting of the Waters". Manaus. Apr 10, 2010. The confluence between the Rio Negro, a river with dark (almost black coloured) water, and the sandy-coloured Amazon River or Rio Solimões, as it is known the upper section of the Amazon in Brazil. For 6 km (3.7 mi) the river's waters run side by side without mixing. This phenomenon is due to the differences in temperature, speed and water density of the two rivers. The Rio Negro flows at near 2 km per hour at a temperature of 28°C, while the Rio Solimões flows between 4 to 6 km per hour a temperature of 22°C
Boca de Valeria, Brazil. April 8, 2010
Boca de Valeria, Brazil. April 8, 2010. A native village of about 150 being visited by a cruise ship with 1200 passengers. A few other natives from nearby drop in as well. The kids get dressed up and parade their pets for photographers (one of the few places in Barzil where we heard any English: "One dollar"). Other kids grab visitors by the hand and guide them around. (hoping for some $$ too) The men bring their boats and offer rides up the small tributary.
Crossing the equator. April 13, 2010
Crossing the equator. April 13, 2010. The ceremony of Crossing the Line is an initiation rite in the Royal Navy, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, and other navies that commemorates a sailor's first crossing of the Equator. Sailors who have already crossed the Equator are nicknamed (Trusty) Shellbacks, often referred to as Sons of Neptune; those who have not are nicknamed (Slimy) Pollywogs. In our case, the passengers were not subjected to "indignities", but the crew is. Crew members who had not crossed the equator before (Pollywogs) were assembled by Shellbacks and had to appear before Neptune and the ship's officers. A fun time had by all
