Jungle is Massive...!!!

I´m back where I started, in the same seat in the same internet cafe in Quito... but I´ve had the most amazing experience in the last five days... one I will for sure never forget. I have made a lot of notes about what we did and saw and there is way too much to write here, but as a flavour...

The camp was a 12 hour bus journey away, followed by a 3 hour trip down river on a motorised canoe... through the depths of the rain forest, to our little camp, a series of small huts with a bathroom hut and shower. There was of course no electricity and all the water was cold, the weather rapidly changing between torential rainfall to blue skies and red hot sunshine. We did many activities, nature hunting for snakes, spiders, monkeys and too many beautiful birds, as well as a night walk (one of the scariest things ever!!), piranha fishing and meeting the indigenous tribes...

Something really incredible! Anyway, I will tell you all about it on my return. We have now 2 days in Quito before returning on Tuesday, everything is fantastic but I also can´t wait to get home to family, friends and some clean clothes!!
