"Basically, they are regular travel agencies, they all have offices here, you can talk to them first, which one to use, we can discuss slowly." Fernando's professionalism is quite high, and he doesn't speak to the locals in Portuguese, which can reassure Hong Tao and them that they won't be able to do anything for him and the travel agency.

"I have the most luxurious five-star hotel here!"

"We have the best sightseeing program here, you can choose from it in one day or one week!"

Seeing Hong Tao and several people stopping, these people shouted more energetically, and turned over the signs in their hands to show Hong Tao, which pasted the most effective projects of various travel agencies. Hong Tao probably took a few looks, there are really fishing projects, but after a further conversation, Hong Tao walked away disappointed, these travel agencies with fishing projects are either to find you a semi-artificial pond on the edge of the city of Manaus, or to take a luxury cruise ship, along the Amazon River all the way down, while walking and fishing, said to be fishing, in fact, it is a gimmick, non-stop boat can catch a P fish! The main thing is to play.

After turning more than a dozen, Hong Tao didn't find a suitable travel agency, so he didn't look for it, anyway, it was already evening, even if he found a suitable travel agency, he couldn't set off today, it was better to find a hotel to stay in like Fernando said, and then come here tomorrow morning to try, by the way, Fernando will also use his own connections to help Hong Tao inquire, is there a more pure fishing itinerary.

As soon as you walk out of the terminal gate, you are greeted by a hot and humid air, which reminds every visitor that it is already tropical, and only the rainy season and the dry season, except for the different amounts of precipitation, the temperature is about the same.

Hong Tao and the others were accompanied by Fernando, a Brazilian, so they changed into shorts and short-sleeved tops on the plane, even so. Before I reached the parking lot, I was still sweating all over my body, and the weather here was even more maddening compared to Africa!

Eduardo Gomez Airport is about 25 kilometers from the center of Manaus, and a taxi ride into the city costs 42 reais, which is almost US$13. And there is a very strange rule for taxis here, that is, from the airport to the city center, it is 42 reais, the price is the same, and the destination is the same. Only docked in front of the same hotel, do not change places.

Hong Tao pondered for a while, although 13 US dollars is not much, but adhering to the principle of saving if you can save, it is better to be able to save it, everyone is not here for sightseeing, it doesn't matter if you enter the city or not, just find a hotel near the airport to stay.

They eventually found a hotel called Monaco Amazon Sightseeing more than 2 kilometers east of the airport, although it was a little old in appearance. But the interior decoration is not bad, the room facilities are similar to the domestic three-star hotel, there is a swimming pool and restaurant on the roof, and the room price is not very expensive. Standard room 155 reais.

After taking a shower, changing clothes, and then sending the dirty clothes to the service desk, Hong Tao and Fernando went to the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, and everyone was a little tired. Don't go outside to find any special restaurants, just solve it nearby.

Unexpectedly, the dishes at this rooftop restaurant are not just traditional Brazilian flavors. But the price and taste are also good, and it is really unintentional. For example, Hulasca is a one-person tall Brazilian kebab; Calangelio, a blue river crab native to the Amazon basin, is eaten in the same way as in China, steamed and dipped in soy sauce; Tucurena, which is also a fish that grows in the Amazon River, weighs more than 10 kilograms, and Brazilians make meatballs and fry them to eat.

The most characteristic of Brazil is a dish called Phogioada, which is said to have been created by local black slaves, which is made with black beans, which are a Brazilian specialty, stewed in a pot with pig ears and trotters, and then eaten with rice. The specific taste is actually the taste of stewed pork, nothing special, Hong Tao estimates that if he makes a dish of sauerkraut and white meat, he will definitely be able to open a restaurant here to support himself, and he can still be popular.

In addition to these foods, Hong Tao also drank a magical drink called Galana, which is the seeds of a semi-creeping plant that grows in the rainforest, which is ground into a powder and then washed with sugar or honey and boiled with warm water. This thing doesn't have the aroma of coffee, it's a little bitter, but its function is much more effective than coffee, and you can immediately feel good spirits after drinking it, and your body seems to be much more comfortable, and your fatigue is swept away.

But there is really no miracle medicine in the world, and unlike the restaurant waiter said, this Galana can cure all diseases, and the reason why this thing is so amazing is that it contains a lot of caffeine, more than 5 times that of coffee, it is simply a stimulant, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a drug. As for the fact that it also contains some galaninic acid that has a nourishing effect on the human body, it can basically be ignored.

Gluttony and curiosity, immediately got the world newspaper, Hong Tao and the three of them did not fall asleep all night, calculating whether to lie on the bed and count the sheep in Brazil and Argentina, whether to sleep or not to sleep, the brain has been in a state of excitement.

finally stayed up until the next day's breakfast, but it turned out that the effect of Galana was time again, and the three of Hong Tao immediately changed from energetic to wilting and drooping, and they didn't pay attention to what they ate for breakfast, just thinking about going back to bed and sleeping.

But sleeping means spending an extra day on accommodation, more than a hundred dollars! It was not wrong to say that people were dying for money, thinking that the dollar was about to slip out of their pocket, Hong Tao and the three had to fight their spirits and continue to return to the waiting hall with Fernando again, looking for their favorite travel agency.

Whether it is at home or abroad, although the system is different and the living habits are also very different, the connotation represented by the word network is still universal. Hong Tao and they asked more than a dozen travel agencies, and they were about to talk about it, but the effect was not as good as a phone call from Fernando.

"We don't have to continue to suffer, my friend helped us find a travel agency, which fully meets your requirements, but this travel agency is relatively small, and the accommodation and living conditions are not very good, do you think it is acceptable?" It was almost noon, just when the three of them were about to despair, Fernando's phone rang. After he connected, he muttered in Portuguese for a while, and immediately smiled and said to Hong Tao very mysteriously.

"How bad is it? You won't even have food and drink, will you? Hong Tao was also happy in his heart after hearing this, but reason told him that he must not play righteous with these foreigners, and he must ask carefully about everything, and they will not be impatient because you ask in detail.

"Well, this travel agency is run by an Indian, there is no office in Manaus, the reception capacity is limited, and they have no electricity there, and the rest is not too difficult, the main thing is that he turned out to be a fisherman, and it should be of great help to you fishing." Fernando gave an overview of what he knew.

"I think it's no problem, isn't it just no electricity, let's go fishing, if you don't bring a generator, it's still no electricity, you can overcome it!" After listening to Hong Tao's relay, Fat Zibu was the first to express his opinion.

"I think it's okay, we're not an adventure, it doesn't matter if there is electricity or not, as long as we can eat and drink to ensure hygiene, it's a big deal that we sleep in a tent!" The sturgeon also said that he could accept it, and he was braver than the fat man, and he actually wanted to sleep in a tent in the rainforest.

"What about the price? Wouldn't it be too expensive, right? We're not rich! Hong Tao was still not at ease, and asked about the price like Fernando.

"If you think the conditions are okay, then we will go to the port to meet him, he happened to come to Manaus to purchase goods this time, and he will return this afternoon, the price you go and discuss with him yourself, I don't think it will be too expensive, there are not many tourists like you who are pure fishing, and it will not cost any resources." Fernando is still sincere, even the middleman is not the right person, and all the prices are negotiated by Hong Tao and them.

"Cheng, then we'll go over!" Before Hong Tao went abroad, he asked Erin about the general market of Amazon tourism, where the general tour group is about $100 per person per day, and the mid-range is not more than $300, like the kind of luxury group that drives from upstream to downstream on a large cruise ship, and lives in an air-conditioned room to eat Western food with a swimming pool for $500. According to the budget that Hong Tao and Fat Zibu negotiated with them, as long as it does not exceed $300 per person per day, they can accept it.

On a small pier in Manaus, Hong Tao and his party met the Indian that Fernando said, his name was Anaya, which means rich river, and when he heard the meaning of this name, Hong Tao's heart was a little more steady, if he called the majestic mountain, Hong Tao turned around and left.

Anaya said that he was an Indian, in fact, he looked similar to most Brazilian mixed-race people, and he didn't look like an Indian at all from dressing, speaking, and habits.

"I have a hotel by the water, which can accommodate about 7 people, it is more than 6 hours away from Manaus to drive the boat, there is no electricity, there is a generator, but it went on strike a few days ago, so there is no TV, stereo, air conditioning, and no nightlife! But I can take you to see freshwater dolphins in the Amazon, caiman in the rainforest, and kayak to visit the Indian tribes upstream, which most tours don't have, or don't go as deep as I do. "Anaya is about 40 years old, dark-skinned, very strong, but the smile is very sincere, and when it comes to his small hostel, it is also a combination of disadvantages and advantages, and there don't seem to be many ingredients for fooling.
