Attractive!
The next morning we had to get up at 4am after about 2hrs sleep to get an internal flight to Rurrenbaque to visit the jungle.
Got to the airport to be greeted by the smallest plane ever..not what we were expecting. We were last on so we practically had to crawl to the back seats. I decided after this experience I might be a bit claustrophobic! Alex had no issues and passed out for the hour long flight.
The landing was in a field that looked no different from other fields. It was a relief to get off the plane.
The open cockpit
The next three days was spent going up a river in a boat into the jungle and sleeping in wooden shacks on the side of the river.
Piranha Fishing!
Reluctantly I joined the day trip hunting for Anacondas in the wet marshlands. After walking for two hours we reached the boggy leach and tick fillled fields where Anacondas are often spotted and I realised I had a huge split in my wellies...gutted! so paranoid about leaches and my wellies filling up with water! The umbrella is nothing to do with the rain it is me having no shame and using it to shade myself from the burning sun. Alex was the ultimate gentleman guiding me through the least boggy sections whilst I moaned about feeling gross things in my boots... not a happy camper! To top it all off I was walking around thinking I am looking for something which I really do not want to find!! ha
The boats sides were really low to the river, especially when there are aligators thrashing about
We saw hundreds on the sides on the river
Sunset
Cool, Calm, Collected! We crept up on the one eye aligator for a photo and just as it was being taken it decided to head towards us....aghhhhhhhhhh
Aligator thrashing at the boat!
