For the next three days our little group will be getting back to nature. No phones, no internet, and no other tourists; and just like our home stay I know I will enjoy every moment of it. It's nice to be away from all the things we rely so heavily upon for a change (like blogs and Facebook haha).
We fly to a town in the amazon (the name of which is super difficult and has slipped my mind) around lunch time today, then head upriver to find our hidden bungalows where we will be staying. The next time I have access to Internet will be when we fly into Lima on Friday, marking the end of our fabulous tour of Peru.
The rainy season might limit some of our activities in the amazon, for example, I learnt today that piranhas don't like rain, and so piranha fishing won't be very successful- such a pity because I was really intrigued as to how we go about that. Despite the possible rain, Giscard guarantees us we will have plenty of opportunities to see wildlife, but one animal in particular worries me a little. Anyone who has ever met me probably knows my worst fear, I don't know what it is about them exactly that hits my weak spot, but whatever it is I can't shake my phobia. Give me a snake, or a bug and I will hold it with open arms, but put a spider within 20 meters of me and I will turn into a terrified child being chased by the boogyman. So you can understand my horror when my lovely tour leader tells me we will see tarantulas- I honestly went white sitting at the table. But I guess I will have to deal with that when it comes... And hopefully avoid fainting or passing out at the scene.
Wish me luck, or at least wish that I won't encounter one of those disgusting creepy creatures.
On a lighter note I will leave you with some pictures of our last night in Cusco.
