I am out of the rainforest as you may or may not know and am currently in Quito.
I think it´s probably going to take a little while for me to put up all the things I did. So I thought I´d write a little piece just to let you know! Kind of pointless, but oh well.
I can give you some rainforest facts though!:
It rained on 42 out of the 45 days I was in the forest.
Butterflies are awesome and you can touch their wings and they won´t die!
Anti-malarial tablets do not agree with me one little bit.
Bird-watching can actually be interesting.
I do not like bugs at all.
Wellies are jungle cool as are socks and sandals.
While I was in the forest the Rio Napo experienced its worst flood in 50 years and the water rose where we were by 12 steps.
Chickpeas and lentils are actually pretty nice, as is porridge.
You can make almost anything taste good with ketchup.
I never ever want to be a vegitarian.
Cold showers are pretty nice when humidity is 80 to 90 percent and the average daily temperature is 25 to 30C.
Living without internet is harder than I thought it would be.
Monkeys are as cool as you expect them to be.
Catching and killing a chicken to eat is pretty hard work.
Big trees are awesome.
Biology lessons suddenly make sense in the jungle: "so that´s what competition is!"
Trekking in hot and humid conditions is blooming hard work!
I have come to love and respect the jungle, despite a wobbly start.
