Hi all,
Just to let you know that we are both still very well,
on the day we published the last blog post on the jaguar, we returned to the lodge and saw him again on the way up! This time we got half decent photos, so here are some more as well as the most recent pick.
Aside from that, yesterday we had a very exciting morning following a herd of white lipped peccaries (wild pig type things). We walked for about five hours and bumped into them three times. There were at least 50 of them and them make the most exciting noises, screaming and grunting and clacking their huge teeth. Running around eating and fighting.
We are leaving the lodge and the jungle in two weeks now, which we are sad about as we have had such a nice time here and are fairly at home. We both feel like it is time to go now though and are excited to explore the sierra, which is supposed to be a completely different kettle of fish to the amazon. We have made good friends with Shelley and George the other new RNs who are very good
Capirona beach
(now washed away by the river)fun, and have also had a great volunteer at the lodge called Katerina. All this and the staff at the lodge will be a shame to leave not to mention the parrots and the rest of it, but it seems like the right time.
We have finally made a few more plans, which are still somewhat mas o menos, but we have found a man in Costa Rica who seems to be willing to train us up to Scuba divemasters, in exchange for three months work on his boats and in his shop. We should therefore be heading up to Costa Rica by land after we meet Anthea (Yaz´s mother) in Ecuador in August. The hope is that after we are trained up we will be able to work. Anyway hopefully that all works out, but we still have a good lot of travelling to do in the meantime, and have plans to hit the mountains of Peru and Bolivia before Ecuador.
Anyway we are still great and hope you are all well,
take care and lots of love
Yaz and Jack
