Sorry, no pictures from Fortaleza or Belem, Brazil. Watson used his camera for these ports. Then we discovered that his memory card is not compatible with my setup for transferring photos to the iPad.
At least I got some nice pictures of Brazilian cloud formations on my camera.
But, moving onward, today we are at Devil's Island, a former penal colony. Tonight we will see the movie Papillon, starring Dustin Hoffman as a prisoner on the island.
Devil 's Island is small and rugged. The jail, chapel, and other points of interest are at the top of a steep hill. One route is paved with slippery, moss-covered stones. The other option features a series of stairways made of large, uneven stones. The heat and humidity added extra challenges. But there were some interesting distractions along the way.
Photogenic monkeys,
A camera-shy agouti,
And finally the prison, with Watson about to enter.
We visited the chapel
And a hotel
before heading back to The Amsterdam with all its comforts.
Only a few days left before leaving the ship for good and finding our way back home. There will be a few more blog entries.
