Manaus

We were all so sad to leave the rain forest. It had been an amazing few days. Yes, we were excited about having a shower, wearing clean clothes, sleeping in a bed and having our phones.....but we really had had such a special time together. We went back to Manaus late afternoon and went straight to the opera house (what was another couple of hours without a shower when daylight was fading?!).


The opera house is so impressive. It was built after the rubber boom, and is so grand. 


We snuck in during a rehearsal!
Manaus itself was a bit of a strange city. There were a few really beautiful buildings, but so many ugly ones!




We had a look around a gallery before showers and naps beckoned! Our group met up for dinner and drinks later on in the city. It was funny seeing everyone showered and fresh!


This car cracked me up!
