Shoot I'm buggered. and yes I did get eaten by a lot of things. At the moment my feet are swollen up even fatter then normal because I got so ravaged by mozzies and sandflies and ants and caterpillas. But the rest of the time I had an absolute blast. It was hard work but well worth it. The first 4days we spent hiking with our backpacks fully laden with food and mosquito-nets and stuff, then we got to rest on days 5 and 6 after we made our raft out of balsa trees. I saw a gang of spider monkeys swinging through the trees above us, an aligator, turtles, heaps of cool birds and butterflies, piranas and other wierd fish with lots of teeth, fresh water sting-rays, fireflies and yes of course, a gizillion mosquitos and sandlies. We chased a group of pigs for a while too which was heaps of fun although we didn't catch them, and we saw a whole lot of Tigers footprints which was a bit of a worry. I also learnt how to cook a lot of good food over the fire which should come in handy back at Flecture bay one day 😊 Luckilly
my mate decided to bring his nephew along to teach him the ways of the jungle though, so I never had to be the first up to get the fire going for our morning coffee. I slept very well every night, very very well. my only complaint was that I didn't have a bit more time, I could of easily stayed out there for another week but I guess you can't do everything. I'm back in La Paz at the moment and tomorrow morning I will be making my way to Peru with a couple of days on Lake Titicaca which should be nice.
