Manaus

We have finally landed in Manaus! Here's what happened after yesterday's blog...

We got on our plane and took off for Brasilia (and 8 hour flight). They served us dinner on the flight, and it wasn't great, but it was free food. c: My dad had booked us an emergency exit row, so we had a lot of leg room. But two kids ended up behind me and were kicking my seat... So when my dad moved over to the right side of the plane (those three seats were empty), I moved over to the end seat. The kids continued to kick my sat until they fell asleep. I stayed awake for 5 hours, then finally got tired and decided to try to sleep. I ended up going in and out of sleep (the longest I slept at one time was 45 minutes). The last hour and a half of the flight, I stayed awake due to turbulence. Yeah, we had it on this flight, too!

We landed at about 5 in the morning (the crew served us some breakfast before we got off, which was awesome). After we landed we had to claim our baggage and go through customs. After all that, we had to check back IN to the airport and go through security to catch our final flight from Brasilia to Manaus. Now, I think Brazil is an awesome place (once you get past the humidity), but we've had problems communicating. The people here speak Portuguese, and we don't... We know a little bit of Spanish, but we know enough to get us some water. We can't think tap water because of parasites.

And pictures of our room. It's pretty tiny, but it's clean at least. XD

Anyway. I guess that's it for today's blog entry because I'm lazy. And this technically counts as last night's entry... I started this June 6th at 9 PM. It's now June 7th at 11:48 AM.

It's so freaking hot and humid here. *whines*
