In the jungle the quiet jungle the lion sleeps tonight....

We have just been in the jungle for 3 days. It was amazing! I have always wanted to go to the jungle since the days of A-level geography! Very very very hot and humid! It rained which isn´t surprising for a Rain forest, however...this brought out the spiders....which was surprising to me for some reason... completely forgot that there were likely to be millions of huge spiders in the jungle! Thank the lordy that a Danish bloke, taller than me, was in front of me on the trail.. So, basically cleared the trail of cobwebs by walking into them.

I have to say Hedda was brave and went for a night walk... No torches.... Just wobbling through the jungle with all the critters...and Spiders..no thank you!

We went for a paddle in a boat on the Iguazu river so that you get the full feel for how massive the rain forest is! Slight miss hap...a Dutch girl and i were helping a lady out of the boat and the cement ramp we were standing on broke off into the river....yupp nearly went floating towards the waterfalls...and Cayman....and what did Hedda do? Hmm? Stood laughing from dry ground!


Had a fantastic time really really glad we went...I think we are both in agreement with that!
