The Amazon

I flew to a small place called Puerto Maldonado. Then took a boat to my lodge down river.... Nice! The staff were very helpful people. My small amount of Spanish came in handy here as less English was spoken once out of the big cities.

Flying in over the snow covered mountain's.

Massive river system. Starts in Peru in the west 

and ends on the east coast of Brazil.

The town. I was only here long enough to take the pick.

Tour of town on the back of his bike.

The lodge.

River was fast and furious. 

Paddled kayaks to monkey island and

 didn't need to work hard to get there.

The monkey's were fast and cheeky, climbed up on one of the girls and opened her bag and stole two packets of biscuit's, then flew back up the tree.

Spent a lot of time on one of these boats.

 But the best time was the game of volleyball each afternoon with the happy staff. Was great to be down from the altitude and be able to run non stop for an hour.
