25 May 2007 In the Amazon






We arrived in the jungle yesterday and after a 3 hour boat ride up the river we arrived at our accomodation which strongly resembled an ewok village from star wars. I got up at 4am to the low guttural sounds of the howler monkeys. We walked through the jungle in darkness for awhile then got on a boat and headed up river to a lake where we would do some bird watching and pirana fishing. Unfortunately I didnt catch any piranas but the tour guide did.
At about 9 am we walked further through the jungle and saw some monkeys and waited to see some macaw´s. After lunch we headed to a shamans (pictured) medicine garden and saw heaps of jungle remedies which was pretty interesting. After a long day in the jungle we had a few beers in the ewok village.
