1/6th done

The amazon jungle was fantastic. Technically i was in the Amazon basin as opposed to the big deal real amazon but it was still incredible.

I´ve seen monkeys of all sorts of colours and breeds and fed most of them out of my hands. Seen cayman crocodiles and red bellied tarantulas and everything in between. I floated down one of the main two tributaries of the Amazon river in a tradiotional balsa wood raft.

The last week has been so completely filled with new experiences i can´t begin to list them all here. So far this trip has been amazing.

I do miss the comforts of home every now and then as we are now camping and the tents are a bit small for two guys around the 6´tall mark but i´ll survive i guess.

Right now i´m in a city called baƱos and it seems pretty cool. There is a massive parade going on for a celebration in the city at the moment and it´ll be going on into the night so we are all planning on heading in later on for dinner and a bit of night life.

I´ll try and upload a few pics or something for you all but i can´t guarantee anything with my complete lack of spanish communication.

Right now i´m going to head off and buy a cui cui on a stick, otherwise known as a guinie pig :)

Until next time
