Live Stream #2 from Into the Amazon – Brazil 2018 is now on our YouTube channel!
We finally made it to Brazil! Only one more flight before arriving at our first destination of Belem. An arrival time of 11pm and an 11 hour layover in Brasilia meant getting a hotel room near the airport for the night. Neither of us can sleep well on airplanes!
Grabbing our bags from the luggage carousal we attempted to call an Uber. Having no idea we were supposed to meet them at a designated spot and seeing no signs for this spot, the first driver gave up and cancelled. Exhausted, hauling our luggage up a massive staircase, we tried to stay positive. Travel is an adventure, after all! What fun would it be without challenges? We finally found the designated pickup spot and called another driver. Hopping in the Uber, we arrived 10 minutes later at a modern, comfortable airport hotel.
Checking in at reception we realized my Spanish wasn’t going to help us on this trip as much we had hoped. With some effort, hand signals, a mixture of Portuguese, Spanish and English we were checked in! At 2am, after lukewarm showers, we and hit the pillows. Finally some (restless) sleep!
The alarm clock woke us up at 7am and we reluctantly peeled ourselves out of bed to get back on another airplane. Arriving back to the airport an hour earlier than needed because of anticipation we were able to leisurely enjoy several cups of strong Brazilian coffee before heading to our gate. This time it was a short flight, only three hours. Finally, the first destination of Into The Amazon – Brazil 2018, Belem!
Join us for the next Live Stream where we visit an export facility in Belem, Para, Brazil!
