The 529am ipod alarm was really confusing. I thought i had accidently left on the alarm from another day. 6am breakfast has been happening often on this holiday and after scoffing down another huge meal we were back in the boat heading upstream to our early morning gumboot walk. On the way through the jungle we were learning about stuff and things. Probably a 90 minute walk with long sleeves and it wasn't the heat but the humidity that was annoying. Finally we reached the destination of a lake. Split up into 2 canoes we slowly went around the lake. I dont know how but one of the guides found a black caiman in shallow water. A few minutes later while we were throwing crackers in the water he sticks his hand in the water and comes up with a piranha.
We walked back to our boat and got back to the lodge by big lunch time. We then had 2 options. Sleep or go visit a farm. We slept and then walked around 10 minutes to a small pool in a fast running creek to get in to say that we had. It had cooled down a bit and then started to rain. We stayed for 20 minutes before returning for a shower. Annette hit the hammock and me bed in an attempt to recover lost sleep.
We were awake for our lecture on crocs and alligators, ate another huge meal and then it eas off for a might time bost ride and spotlighting.
Now i guess the river was maybe 100 metres wide but the guide was spotting things so easily. He was finding plenty of kayman and even a .......big rodent
