I was deep in the jungle (Manu National Park) for 8 days from 22.-29.08. Being back to civilization I realize how nice it is to not bath in Deet every morning and still get over 100 sunfly and moscito bites. I am not joking - I used 50% Deet several times a day and still got eaten alive!
The tour into the Reserved Zone of a primary rainforst was an unforgetable experience. Even though it took us ages to go there and I have spent countless hours in bus and boat I got a big reward by seeing lots of wildlife.
Some memorable moments:
- Leaves falling on my head because monkeys playing up in the trees right on top of me
- Being close to a massive tarantula
- Sharing my room with a big hairy spider and not minding it (think I got used to insects by now)
- Getting introduced to a fun card game called 'Shithead' (thanks again guys - really love it)
- ... and seeing a jaguar!
