Dear all,
Waoooh...from
La Paz at 4000m high and 5 degrees celcius, we arrived in
Rurrenabaque with a tiny plane (almost as tiny as in Nepal) with
around 15 seats....at 200m high and 35 degrees ;-) What a shock but
how nice to feel in a tropical environment again...So we went there
after being advised that we could go and see the Amazonian jungle &
pampa...and what a delight! Different kind of monkeys, beautiful
birds like toucans, caymans & alligators, pink dolphins,
anaconda, giant ants eater, piranhas etc...etc...To tell you the
truth, the jungle can also be a nightmare especially between 6pm and
9pm ….because of the bloody mosquitoes ;-) My bum, for example had
50 bites easily (how stupid it is to take a shower at 6.30pm on the
first night ;-) and thus looked like the world map. Agnes had the chance to swim with the famous
Amazonian pink dolphins, that are far bigger, softer than the
standard ones but also with a longer and thinner nose...Granted dolphins
were playing, they also bit Agnes who had to go to the hospital to
check for potential infections. We also enjoyed fishing piranhas
before eating them, hunting for anaconda...we found a 3m long one
which is the biggest we could find there (the bigger ones are in
Brazil). Worth mentioning that we had a great 5 days there together
with a bunch of Frenchies (Laura & Cecile in their 25s), Rosbeefs
(Alex & Dave in their 19s) and Australian (Martin who was 36)
guys...Fort more pics, check the usual sections: Bolivia/Peru,
Foodies, Portraits, See and Contact Us. We are currently in La Paz
and are heading to Titicaca and Peru tomorrow. By the way we will be in France early July and in London mid-July). Agnes found a great job in her former company and will start end of July. Me, I am still looking into joining back my former company/group...so fingers crossed! Take care and see you soon! Guillaume & Agnes
