Last year, we went to the Boi Bumba Festival \u00a0show; having seen it once, we didn&#8217;t feel the need to partake again, so we opted for a gentle meander around the village. Not that there&#8217;s a huge amount to see; we walked along the river&#8217;s edge in a direction we hadn&#8217;t been before, until the buildings started thinning out, at which point it felt like the right moment to turn around and head back. We joined a group of lecturers and entertainers in one of the bars and finished the afternoon off with a pleasant drink before catching the tender boat back to the ship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\">This evening, a slight change to the itinerary has been annnounced. It seems the Brazilian authoriities have made a change to berthing requirements at Macapa, meaning we have to head stratight there from our stop in Alto De Chao tomorrow to get to Macapa before 2:30pm on Friday, meaning we&#8217;re having to miss out Almeirim. This is a shame, since we really liked Almeirim last year &#8211; it certainly has a lot more going for it than Macapa. Unfortunately, I suspect the decision to change things this way has somethinng to do withh shore excursions that have already been booked for Alta de Chao and Macapa &#8211; Almeirim would only have been a half day and didn&#8217;t include any excursions. Never mind&#8230;. it&#8217;s not the end of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma;\">Tonight, we put the clocks forward one hour, which will mean we are oonly 3 hours hours behind \u00a0UK time. This also marks the exact halfway point of our cruise.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a half day, and my turn to run two classes just in the morning.
