Poorly Planned But There She Goes....

From last I wrote I've experienced probably one of the best and most realxing highlights of my trip. The Pampas tour to the Amazon basin. Heres the itinerary:
Short (but loud and dodgy Bolivian military) flight to Rurrenbaque, straight away at ease when we breathed in the tropical warm air...bring it on after cold and bustling La Paz. After being issued with our regulation old mans work shirt to protect from mozzies, we were on a 4 hour Jeep trip, dusty as all hell to the river and Frank (a name given only because the man nevetr spok a word to us). After an hour and half boat (driven by our new best friend- Ronaldo) along the river at sunset to our home for the few days we were there, mozzie nets and right on the water.

That night after eating excessively, we went Alligator hunting, next day more eating followed by a cruise down the river and Anaconda hunting. Was crazy and Ronaldo got bitten but trapsing though the mangrovey sluge may have been easier with boots that sealed. All sorts or crazy things live around there.

After more food and a long siesta in the hammocks we went Pirhana fishing (caught the first one, of course!) Nah, we got 10 decent sized ones all together and ate them for tea, not he tastiest or meatiest things Ive seen but those teeth really are like in the cartoons! That night after again, more food (God Bless Rosa the cook!) it was beers and whisky with Ronaldo on the guitar.

The next morning we went out on the river again and saw some more pink river dolphins, went for a swim with them (and evidently pirhanas and alligators...), its a spin out to see dolphins in a river, they were pretty amazing.

A lazy trip back to the jeep after lunch and we were in Rurrenbaque again, tiny town, unorganised airport and hitch hicking played a part in our depature. It was a perfect break but were back to La Paz now.
