7-Dec-2025 / Manaus, Brazil - Day 1
View of a long bridge crossing the river a short distance from Manaus.
Here you can see the muddy Amazon River water as we turned to a side river and Manaus.	This is one of the few builds on the river front that looked like they might fall down.

Tour: Cruise the Amazon Waterways and Rainforest.
The 1st leg of the tour was on a Tour Boat, 2 decks high. {Photo later}


We stopped at the "Amazon BigGame" Dock, Trading Post, and Resturant.	It looked like they were working on increasing the dock space.
On the shore we could see a walkway that when up into the top of the rainforest	On the left is the Tour boat that brought us here and later would return us to Manus.

The 2nd leg of the tour was on a small 6 seat botor boat.
Out on the dock they help us into the small boat, Peaches and I got the front seat.	This is a Tour Boat like the one that we were on for the 1st leg of this tour.

This bush was covered with RED Butterflys.	The Butterflys hid in the flowers.
While we were watching the butterflys one of the deckhands caught a gator.
