En route BR #174-1, Posto Abonari
I left the Hotel Ibis of the airport On Monday March 21st to go to
Boa Vista, then Bonfim border of Guyana. It is approximately 800 km
in four days. Br #174 has a good roadway whose certain sections were
recently renovated. It is a true happiness after Br #139. The
landscape is fresh water marshy and some trees are partially burnt.
It rained all the day. I found a bivouac at the gas station BR
Posto-Abonari.

On Tuesday, March 22th was still a driving day with like only point
of interest the crossing of the equator with return in the northern
hemisphere. Indeed Guyana, Suriname and Guyana are in the northern
hemisphere certainly very near to the equator with regard to Guyana
justifying the localization of the space center of Kourou for the
launching of the ARIANE rockets. Of course it rained all the
morning. The rain washed my truck partially! I bivouacked in the end
of a field.

Bonfim
On Wednesday, March 22th was not a lucky day. On my way I noticed
forest fires, photograph with smoke. Then while arriving at Boa
Vista I looked for a cybercafé which I did not find in this modern
city without road sign. It is built around the central place into
three or four concentric streets. I warned a electronic shop where I
asked where a cybercafé was. I did not obtain an answer but they
proposed to me to use one their computers to consult my mailbox.
Once more I appreciated the kindness of the Brazilian people. The
temperature was of +34°C. I sought a bivouac at the edge of water to
have freshness, que nenni. I continued my road up to Bonfim and the
border with Guyana which I crossed without difficulty.
