Just when we thought all the walking was over. Another big hike, this time in the 100% humidity of the amazon rainforest. But wow what an amazing walk. There was so much to see that the 1 hr walk took 4hrs.... Or perhaps we were just slow. Either way we saw so many insects, beautiful flowers, learnt about many different medicinal plants and hugged a giant ceiba tree. The highlight for me was a hummingbirds nest, made entirely from spiderwebs and fixed to the back of a leaf! Low and behold eggs inside too! So cute. That night tarantula hunting! Then entertained by a local band from a nearby village. Finally we were blessed with good health and well travels in a traditional ceremony performed by the most sweetest beautiful old lady you´ve ever seen. And praise the lord my constipation cleared up the very next day!
