Santarem (Amazon River), Brazil

Today we got picked up by a boat while we were anchored and we sailed up the Tapajos River to see the meeting of the waters. We then sailed up the Maica River to go piranha fishing which was fun. Our boat caught two catfish and two piranhas and a weird looking fish

Today John and I grabbed a cab with another couple which was advised by Oceania Cruises. They don’t want you going off the ship alone 

Our driver took us to the Botanical Gardens, and we saw the Magnificent Seven which are homes that were built and owned by the farmers. 

St. George’s, Grenada

November 10, 2018

Today we rented a car and what an adventure it was. The roads were very narrow, and they were two-way streets with ditches on either side.

We drove up to this cool hotel called Petite Anse Hotel in St. Mark and had a great lunch. Afterward, we drove through the rainforest and saw the Grand Etang Lake on the way to the rental car place. The whole day was fun and very scenic. It’s a very green lush island, and the people are all really nice!

We were lucky enough to purchase a bunch of fresh spices from this fabulous spice island of the Caribbean.

Today we rented a car and drove around the island we’ve been here before, so we visited a couple of our favorite places. We had lunch at this cool place called Nikki Beach and then went shopping at this amazing store called Laurent Effel.

Today we decided to take a drive to St. Petersburg to visit a friend of ours.

If you are ever in St. Pete’s make sure you stop and grab a bite to eat at Fresco’s Waterfront Bistro. The food and atmosphere are excellent. Make sure you tell David (The owner) John and Maria from NY sent you!

Next time you see a Banyan Tree you know what you need to do!
