Shamen
The shamen performing a ceremony on one of the group members - it involved lots of chanting, waving palms leaves and blowing cigar smoke onto her hair!

Trekking through the jungle
The highlight so far - despite lots of rain, mud and creepy crawlies!

Apparantly a (very large) rodent! Many animals have been hunted out of the jungle but we managed to see some in a nearby animal reserve.

Scary
Bec, I am a little bit concerned about these Capyvara thingys they look as big as dogs!! I hope you aren't going to bring one back as a pet. Your photo's are lovely, I think you are doing well we will have to call you "Bec Bailey" although I would really like to see some more cheesey pictures too. Lots of love Jen xx
