Well had written a massivo blog about the whole trip but then the power went out and it all went :( Saw loads of shit like massivo taratula's, swimming snakes including the Bushman which is the jungles most deadly. Actually came after the boat so we had to scarper. The trip was pretty speacial. Headed by bus 3 hours North and then another hour by boat into the deeper amazon, dropped out gear at Antonio's base camp and headed out for a boat ride into the drowned forest. Everything along the sides of the river floods up to 8m per year so makes pretty interesting swamps! Tried to see some monkeys but they were too fast but did see something that looks like a cross between a monkey and an anteater! In the evening we headed out for some alligator spotting, caught a baby and got some good shots! went back to camp for boozing and card playing with the SA boys.

Headed out into the deeper jungle and saw some gaint spiders, snakes and cool trees that have medical properties. Spent most of the day building kick ass shelter and needed it as it pissed with rain all night. Next day headed 8km into the interior but didnt find much due to wrong season and the rain :( Glad to get back to the base camp as ended up waling about 20km in the day. SA boys had to head back and i had a chilled evening making blow dart guns and boozing. Last day went on a final boat trip and finally managed to get a pic of the fical howling monkey, but did get lost in the swamp for an hour in the rain!

Excellent trip, not what i was expecting but fun non the less!
