Dominica to the Amazon

MV Explorer from above in Dominica.
Dominica port area was very quaint. View from the ship. Beautiful port.


Suspension Bridge across the gorge. We saw this from the aerial tramway at the top of the rainforest.

Small local band played authentic Dominican music for us.

Liz and I on the suspension bridge

Sarge made the trip too, of course!

After two rough sea days, we finally enter the Amazon River and its smooth sailing


 

Just a little example of the bugs we encountered in this region



It was amazing how close we were to the riverbank at times.

What a view!!!



Sarge wanted to see the River


Small villages like these spotted along the riverbanks for many hundred miles.

Finally the port of Manaus
