Welcome to the Jungle!!

We are now in Manaus but not for long as we are heading deeper in the jungle. 3 hours drive followed by 1 hour boat up the "black river" to an Ecolodge right by the river for 3 days. We've been on a boat ride around including piranha fishing. Another boat ride by night. The second day, we went for a 3 hours walk in the jungle. The guide showed us all sorts of trees and what local people do with it. It ended up with a massive rain. We could hear it coming towards us. It was almost as loud as a big waterfall...
Later on in the day some of us (the braviest) went for a 1 hour walk to a camp (well, a plastic sheet on few wooden stick) where we've spent the night. It was an amazing experience to sleep in hammocks right in the middle of the jungle. No noise or light polution. Just the noises of the jungle, barbecue cooked food served in tree leaves and wooden spoon carved by ourself. I've even been drinking coffee... A truly unique experience!!






























I'm drinking coffee!!

And they were 7...
