I know my blog posts are out of order. It was virtually impossible to post pics in the jungle. Bear with me..I should get straightened out soon! :)
Today was another beautiful Amazonia jungle day!! After breakfast, Hartley went fishing...yes fishing...for piranhas, on a boat with one of the guides and other guests. Apparently, he had fun! And has the pictures to prove it!
I, on the other hand, stayed behind to pay our monthly bills. Usually this is not an issue, even from afar but since the Internet here is quite sketchy (in the Amazon?? Really??I know, what should I expect, huh?). After all this place is so wonderful, I assumed it would be one step above camping in the jungle, should have been pleased even if it just had running water! So after struggling with this for a couple of hours, I gave up..
H and I went for another swim in the Amazon River, which should scare us right? The staff assured us there were no creatures..I am trying to figure out, if this is the same jungle that we saw S.A's deadliest snake in yesterday, then how is there nothing bad in the river? Again,the water was amazingly warm. We swam a bit further today, maybe 350 yards or so. The person who got out of the river before us said she had seen a pink dolphin out there. I would have loved to see him too but alas, no dolphins wanted to brush me with good luck today..
After the refreshing swim and lunch, I settled in our room to read a book. I have read 3 books so far, I am on my 4th. Since I only read while I travel, I have alot of literature to catch up on! Especially when there is no TV, as here. Then I started to drift off and the air conditioning stopped, just like that...I could not get it to turn on. We told the staff, they sent a guy, who came back after it quit 3 times in a row. Oh well, so much for my jungle nap! The result was we moved into the other half of the cottage we are in. I would have loved to be upgraded to the "Royal Suite" or whatever they call the rooms that are $250 more a night but it is not available! The good news is we got a bunch of stuff packed, and since we are hiking all day tomorrow in the jungle and leaving early Thursday AM, it ended up being OK..
Next we went off to do a canoe ride inside the jungle tributaries
We worked hard canoeing trying to avoid all the brush in the stream..Fun, fun, fun! And so amazingly beautiful and calming..
