Amazon Jungle - Day 3

Day 3
Yawn!!! 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 & 10 - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 & 10 Phew!!! I have all fingers and all toes. I live to tell the tale of sleeping in the Amazon Jungle.

Well no times a wasting time to pack up and make our way back to the lodge. But guess what.... instead of a 3 hour walk there is a short cut back to the lodge which only takes half the time. Argh!! there is always a short cut. Excellent, made it back to the lodge just in time for breakfast.

Not much time left at the lodge so a group of us decided to get a canoe and look around. Easier said than done, lets just say there was strong current, 6 people all paddling in a different direction, makes it very difficult to get to where you a going. Finally we got some help and got to where we wanted to go and met up with the 2 person canoe. We grounded the boat and everyone (except myself and Kat) went exploring in the mangroves. After sitting and waiting for everyone to come back. We decided to leave the large canoe and take (borrow) the small canoe and go back to the lodge. Ummmm..... Do you think they will miss us. I hope there is enough room in the other canoe for everyone else. :) hee hee

Everyone slowly returned from our canoe adventure some not so happy. eek!!! We all do our final pack of our bags have lunch and start loading back into the motor boats to start our journey back to Manaus.

Next stop Manaus.
