Apart from the mozzies I was in heaven, and the ride in the makeshift bus on the bumpy dirt road was worth it. I'm lucky to get away with only 15-20 bites. Others not so much. For the past four days I've been lapping up the sun, sweating like no one's business and making the most of the day. It's been about 35-42 degrees every day. Activities start at 7.30 and 3.30pm. Every day we go hunting for exotic creatures, big and small, on land, in water and in trees. The first thing that hit me was the colourful macraws greeting us at the gate and Emily the pet warthog that followed the horses around. We had a tour group of only ten and most of the time we didn't see many others. Which is a first, it's so hard to get off the beaten track and away from the masses. The food's been great and very hard to resist seconds. So I didn't. I had seconds every meal. It's only polite. All three meals were buffet with dessert for lunch and tea. I think I had three beers the whole four days (which I think makes up for the fact of eatting so much)! The days were jam-packed with horse riding (real horse riding, none of this pansy stuff), and fishing. Yep, I caught a dog fish. Yep, it was yukky. But the camion liked it. I've got footage. One day I'll post it. We also did boat and 4x4 trekking. This morning I had a sleep in...til 8.30am lol. Not really what I call a sleep in. So I missed the hiking. Oh poos, I really wanted to do some trekking. When I woke up I had the whole place to myself. Bliss. I found an English novel (easier said than done). It's pretty cheesy, but I'm right in the midst of it now and can't put it down.
Anyway, I'm off to Bolivia tomorrow. Not sure for how long. I've met a French girl who is trying to get to Peru also. As I only have three more weeks left 'til Canada I really need to get moving! So wish me luck... again... and pray I don't book a ticket on the death train tomorrow... Love you all. Chat soon x
