Only two ports of call before entering the Amazon River Region

There are only two ports of call prior to the ship entering the Amazon River Region. 

The ship arrives in Salvador da Bahia tomorrow.  It’s the third largest city in Brazil (2.5 million people).  Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are the largest two cities. 
There will be two days of travel (“sea days”) before reaching Fortaleza, Brazil. 

I guess I’ll be taking my malaria medication beginning Feb. 21 as a precaution for the Amazon region with its many bugs and mosquitos. 

Salvador da Bahia on Sunday, Feb. 18, and Fortaleza on Wednesday, Feb. 21, are the next ports of call.
