... anos, foi bastante esclarecedora, mas brincadeiras à parte, agora entendo perfeitamente todos aqueles mochileiros que me diziam para vir para a Colômbia o mais rápido possível, isto porque vale sem sombra de dúvida a pena aqui estar! E comparando este país com os outros todos em que estive por aqui.... pfff.... pergunto-me porque raio estive eu nos outros! (Brazil... Amor... tu não contas, tá?! Tu estás do outro lado, e és único!)<br><br>Como é sabido pelo leitor, entrei aqui vindo do ...

... that it was not necessary and I would soon be ok to keep water down. Instead he settled for pouring cold water over me at every opportunity, even when I was in my bed! He seemed to think that I was very strange for not wanting his ear hydration cure, and proceeded to announce to everyone else in the lodge that I would not let him put water in my ear. Despite them all thinking that he was the odd one, I got the impression they all just ...

We had an early wake up call to get out of the hostel for an 8 am pick-up and 8.30 boat trip when we met our two guides for the trip, Herman and Ceciliano. The first leg of our initial journey to where we would be spending the majority of tour 5 days, was a short boat trip across a stretch of the River Amazon where it meets the River Negro. The meeting of the two different rivers was quite spectacular, as you could see a clear partition where the yellowy ...

Bogotá (Colombia) vou dia 12... as 18:00h... <br><br>Voltando a falar da praia.... o lugar é bem bonito mesmo... lá no final tem um resort de luxo... 5 estrelas... que foi por onde entrei na praia. Vale a visita.<br><br>Finalmente estou começando a sentir que estou realmente viajando... é estranho parece que, sem sair do Brasil, não é viagem!

... trodden trail. We did the usual camp set up, and we cut down a tree, which I broke in to pieces with a machete(******* the hands, but pretty bad-ass) We made rice(what else) and the piranha, which weren't very meaty, but made up for it by being very tasty. We ate with wooden spoons and leaf-bowls, as we had before. It rained a little, that night, but we all had a good sleep, anyway.<br><br><br><br>03/08/09<br><br> This was our last day with the tour, and neither of us was ...

... with freshly chopped wood, which can be a bit more challenging when you consider that the area receives rain everyday and that wet wood smokes better than it burns. As we saw time and time again, machetes are essential tools for survival in the jungle. They´re your indirect source of warmth, food and fresh water for when it doesn´t rain.<br><br>Now my story may be a bit out of chronological order as I realize I also forgot that we were out on the boat again ...

... area, meaning using one of my hooks, and one of the hooks of the person beside me. It was like that for everybody - a person smacked in the middle. But it wasn't all. I was ordered to pull my hammock up higher, and then there was a person hanging his hammock on the exact same hooks as me, but just giving the rope a lose end, so the two hammocks turned into a sort of a portable bunk bed - this was done all around the ship. But that wasn't enough. People kept coming - and ...
