Today we finally got my luggage from the airport. If you are a smarty like me you will have combined the facts correctly- I have been wearing the same clothes for almost 4 days. And yes, that means the same underwear too. And with the amounts you sweat in this hot and humid country you can not imagine how much fun it is to walk around like that. Anyway enought whining. It is not that bad, but I am really, really happy to see my luggage.
Eduardo suggests to go and see the local zoo to get an impression of the animals that i will encounter in the jungle. That is great fun: I get to see the giant Paice fish I ate last night and I can tell you the sight, when that ancient animals turns up at the surface of the water is breathtaking. I have never been impressed by a fish before. That one truly is magical.
Then we get to see a bunch of different monkeys, aligators, pumas, spiders, turtles and birds. Eduardo tells me that I will encounter most of these in the jungle. I hope I won´t run into too many pumas. I start believing him, when we see the same little white beard monkeys they had in the zoo on the way out, jumping from tree to tree.
One other amazing animal in the Amazon river is the sweet water dolphins. They have grey ones and pink ones here. Eduardo tells me that the locals make fun of the tourists, when they don´t believe in the pink dolphins and get to see one they tell them the story of the pink mosquitos: watch out for the pink mosquitos in the jungle, when they bite you, you will turn gay.´
Tomorrow we are going to the jungle by boat to meet the native communtiy I will be staying with. I can´t wait!
