In the Amazon

Have now arrived in Iquitos, jungle town on the Rio Amazonas, after a wonderful few days sailing in on the Eduardo IV from Yurimaguas.

Needless to say life along the river made for a really interesting few days - stopping (and not stopping!) to load cargo, (bananas and more bananas), in the most novel ways.

And to add to the flavour there were plaintains served at every meal by the gayest galley staff!

Sunsets and sunrises, life on board was spent swaying in a hammock, and then on our last night on board the rains started. How I love the jungle in the rainy season!

Tomorrow I´m off to the Amazon rainforest for a few days....oh this part of the world is just truly fantastic!
