Although it seems that little green grasshoppers have taken over the ship this morning, this dragonfly is my bug of the day
I'm also really pleased to have seen this silk moth. It's not very big, but up till now I'd not seen one.
Peter is still out of work until the customs and immigration folks are gone, so we have the day to ourselves. Sadly, it's the last day we'll have to to watch the Amazon forest go by. The ship is heading east out of the delta and once out at sea will turn south, then west to sail up the river Para to Belem. Although the rainforest will be all around us, we'll not get close enough to the shore to see it. So I've been on deck, trying to soak as much of my surroundings up as possible as it all starts to move away from us.

| I think these are weaver bird nests. I could see them high in the tree with my binoculars, and the camera is on full zoom. |
We'll get to Icoaraci about lunchtime tomorrow. We're escorting the "Belem Transfer" so we'll get a look at the city. Bring it on.
