Rio de Janeiro - Manaus 15 May 2011 Time: 1100 Flight time: 3 hrs 50 mins Our buses take us to Manaus, a city in the middle of the jungle. Manaus is 1,600km inland up the Amazon and is only accessible by air or by river.  Manaus Opera House constructed by rubber barons. | ||

| On reflection ... |
 |
| Inside the opera house |
 |
| Every opera House should have cherubs |
 |
| Our Amazon River Boat |
 |
| Our river cruiser contact details |
Along the Amazon shores
 |
| Slums on stilts |
 |
| The dunny out the back |
 |
| Washing day |
 |
| Meeting of the waters, where the Rio Negro meets the Amazon |
The floating world
 |
A long long bridge over the Amazon, not yet complete  |
 |
 |
| These are the biggest lily pads in the world |
 |
| They are also the prickliest. |
 |
| The Tropical Hotel, Manaus. Its corridors stretch to a vanishing point. |
