Boat Trip through the Amazon
... else was as amused by this as I was, but hey, no harm done.
To me anyway.
The next couple of days passed without anymore entertainment besides a certain happy singing guy.
The days were hot and humid as one would expect from being on the Amazon River, only relieved by the breeze afforded by our speed. But the nights were surprisingly chilly and I was glad for my sheet of a sleeping bag.
The third, top deck of the boat was open ...
Leticia, Columbia
... manages to buy a bottle of rum instead of a glass so I end up drinking rum again, which never ends well. We attempt to dance salsa style but it is not the greatest of successes, from what I remember. We just can't compete with the locals and they say we cannot dance.

Käynnin hinnaksi muodostui lopulta 219USD per naama, eli lähes yhtä paljon kuin reilu kymmenen tunnin lento Kuala Lumpurista Christchurchiin... Ja tämä matkanjärjestäjä oli aivan halvimmasta päästä. Laskimme myös, että tekemällä kaiken itse ei olisi kovin montaa lanttia ...

... beautifully and we see the place where we`re staying, in a village of a few scattered, almost submerged houses called Gamboa. We were saying with Jose and Betty, at the moment their house is just one floating platform less than half a foot above the rising water, they`ve completely lost their downstairs!
