What a surprise when we arrived! We were told that our original boat (m/v Amatista) had experienced mechanical difficulties and that we were being upgraded to G Adventures new boat m/v Zafiro – we were the first passengers! The crew had been working very hard to get her ready (her first voyage was to have been in November) and did a great job. Each room had floor to ceiling panoramic windows so that we could watch the Amazon go by (in the photo our curtain has been pulled on the sides). We frequently saw pink dolphins playing from our window - we are blessed!
