Amazon cruise

[Jancruz]

I loved the kids and people in Boca de Valeria..

We were there about 8 to 10 years ago and it was Christmas so before the cruise we went to the dollar store and spent about $100 for gifts and the kids loved it and the women loved the makeup we got..lipstick Mascara etc.

On top of all that the crew from Regatta the ship we were on gave a big Christmas party in the schoolhouse ( I do believe they were living in the village at that time but maybe not) and the kids were over the moon as were there parents..

So much fun and joy!!

By the way at that time there were no souvenirs for us to buy but we did take pictures for free..

Forgot to say , dobrazilright- the two day tour in Rio, got us into  Sugar loaf mountain and Christ the  redeemer via the vip entrances. No need to queue anywhere. 
In Salvador, if you decide to take the lift to the upper town, forget the long queue for the lift, go to the right of the queue and if you look old enough they just let you straight through as pensioners.If you can’t do that then get off the ship asap as other ships will be there and  head straight to the queue. 😂
