Belem (12-14/Sep/06)

Belem, Brazil

Docked in to Belem in the morning and has a walk around the city. It's nice but there is not much to do, so we had decided we'd stay just a couple of nights and head for the beach. Spend the next day doing proper tourism: went to the market, visited the sacred art museum and church (the church is very pretty, with beautiful wooden carvings). It rained in the afternoon so we cancelled a trip to the zoo (to see local Amazonian animals) and spend the evening in some reformed warehouses (which have a sort of London's Hayes Galleria feel to them) having a few beers and hanging out with the local elite. Today we catch a 22h bus to Fortaleza...
