Well, we didn’t break down (see the posts from our last two visits), nor did we go to the Boi Bumba festival, (overheard being described as the Bumba Boy festival), which we know is brilliant, but we have seen before.
We did take the tender across to have a mooch around though. There isn’t a lot in Parintins for the tourist. We took a walk along the sea front, which was pleasant, and there are plenty of birds about for the twitchers to see, and then had a beer in one of the local cafes.
Tip for others visiting the area, although the Brazilians will happily take dollars, the conversion rate is ridiculous, and you pay a lot more for things than you would if you using Real. (We learned this one a little late). But a pleasant chilled out afternoon all the same
Tomorrow is Alter Do Chao, where we get to go swimming. Yippee!
