PERU | Saturday, 14 October 2006 | Views [3454] | Comments [2]
I've just had a great week. I went to the Pacaya Samiria reserve in the amazon jungle. I think it's the biggest national park in Peru. It was incredible! We travelled by canoe for 5 days & slept out in the jungle...on the HARD ground under mosquito nets. The guides caught loads of fish, including piranha, & my pal Peter feasted on fresh fish every meal. He was sick of them by the end though, & I was so sick of my tucker...eggs - I ate 14 during that 5 days, yee gads my cholesterol!!! I am never eating another egg in my life I swear. We saw loads of birds & wildlife, & caught caiman (crocodiles) by hand at night - I didn't! And we got to release 500 baby river tortoises in a project there organised by the rangers. It was cool & I totally recommend it. Being out there in the wilds of the jungle was like....wow, nothing else matters in the whole world.

Sounds like a nice relaxing sojourn-I'll pass on the hard sleeping conditions!Hope the baby tortoises can swim well.What happens to the caiman?
