Rio to Manaus

The flight from Rio to Manaus was approximately 4 hours, and was rather uneventful for me ( I am well known for sleeping through a tornado). My friends on the other hand decided to make the orange juice served in flight more interesting by adding vodka. I woke up to 3 really happy faces, a sleeping child and half a bottle of vodka, to find out we had landed in Manaus.


We had booked our Amazon leg of the trip with Amazon Eco Park Lodge, whose friendly agent was ready to meet us at the airport to transfer us to our over night accommodation in Manaus. The next day, we were to be transferred to the Amazon Eco Park Lodge via van and boat. 


Our hotel rooms in Manaus were comfortable and clean and we crashed at about 2 am after exchanging invaluable gossip, haldiram's chilli chatak lachha (a popular indian snack) and a couple of drinks.
