Vlak voor de kerst zijn we er een paar dagen tussen uit gegaan naar Manaus en de Amazone
DD was erbij en we hebben genoten!
Just before Christmas we have been away for a short break to Manaus and the Amazon
DD came with us and we had a wonderful time!

We vlogen van São Paulo naar Manaus (4 uur vliegen!) en sliepen daar 2 nachten in een B&B,
daarna door naar Juma Lodge in de jungle voor 3 nachten.
Het was heerlijk om dit samen met DD en DH te kunnen doen, het maakte deze reis heel bijzonder!
Inmiddels is ze weer naar haar flatje in Londen en geniet ik na van de vele mooie momenten samen.
We flew from São Paulo to Manaus, a 4 hour flight, and stayed there for 2 nights in a B&B.
Then on to Juma Lodge in the jungle for another 3 nights.
It was very special to make this trip together with DD and DH!
In the meantime she has returned to London and I savour the many moments we shared together.
Groetjes uit Brazilie,
Hilde
