... drop to the underground lake's surface. a platform and walkway has been assembled below but you descend directly over the water -- likely the last ditch safety precaution should all the gear fail simultaneously. Unfortunately for your supposed safety, but really just to not lengthen the ascent/descent durations you're not allowed
to carry your camera with you while strapped in, because this is truly the most amazing vantage points ...

... was beautiful so we sat out in the sun in the open area outside our rooms.

On our second day, we went to this private resort thing. It had a volleyball court, a football pitch, table tennis, big pool area, zip line and diving board. We played lots of volleyball and some football and had a lot of fun on the zip line and diving board.

The trees were filled with monkeys, like Marcelle from Friends. They were fun to taunt and muck about with. Clare ...

... blog that we arrived in Bonito unscathed and with beautiful weather to enjoy it. The campsite has a natural swimming hole with a waterfall at the back and we’ve been able to have a dip in there and a good swim against the current for exercise, trying to work off all the food we are eating. Bonito is know for its caves and crystal clear waters and it really is amazing how in the rivers with a snorkel mask you can see incredibly ...

... through the forest. As an American, I have never seen anything quite like this. Not only is the biodiversity amazing (I saw monkeys, armadillos, and several birds I couldn't name before the first waterfall) but the sense of isolation truly impressive. During my whole tour I only ever saw two other tourists and their guide, and even then they barely uttered a peep. If you want to be at one with nature, this is your chance. As I round the corner and see the first waterfall I ...

... start of the tropical river.I felt so lucky to snorkel through those crystal clear warm waters full or fish of many different colours and coral beds of all shapes and sizes. It was my first real snorkelling experience and it was incredible, swimming among all the fish as they swum curiosly past taking a look at you. We swum face to face with blue, silver, black and orange stripey and shimmery fish and looked at the under water springs. It was a beautiful experience, and very relaxing ...

... en blij de rivier weer uit. Wat hebben wij een gave dingen gezien zeg! In het begin zijn er twee soorten vissen, een kleine (20 cm) regenboog vis en een dikke grotere donkere van zo´n 40 tot 50 cm. Terwijl je rustig door het tropisch oerwoud heen dobbert - echt fantastisch om af en toe op je rug te liggen en gewoon omhoog te kijken hoe het spektakel als een film aan je voorbij gaat - kun je rustig de vissen bestuderen in hun eigen ...

... of Bonito on the edge the Pantanal.
We stay here in the youth hostel of Bonito for 3 nights giving us the chance to chill out a bit (it´s a little cooler here but not much) and do some more adventure activities. As for myself I chosed to chill out in the shade today, keep my blog updated then visiting the blue lake cave tomorrow before another very long driving day all the way down to the Argentinian border at Iguazu Falls.

... was cut into many pieces and distributed throughout the Favela. So really.. not something you´d want to be doing there. And if you´re wondering about the police.. well the ones that are supposed to protect them are corrupt and can be bought off easily.. so all they have is the gang - which they don´t like but it´s better than nothing! On the Tuesday night, Nicole and I went to the Gay & Lesbian ball. It was an awesome night! So many costumes, so many shemen, so many ¨Is she, isn ...
