watch out for los llanos

this piranha is not the one i caught.. some bloke got it in brasil and i stole the image... mine was much harder, it had a gun

right there i was


up and early dooooring about

jump into jeepage with 2 italian birds, swiss german and meet fellow travellers

a roman who turned out to be a huge wanker and 2 coventry lads

off we go...

we stop to look at an old stone church

which didnt thrill me much

then driving driving driving driving driving driving

up through mountains and back down again

for a loooooooong time

lunch at a roadside place with crazy big roast stuff

the roman was decidedly weird

more driving and the option of going white water rafting..

we try it on

im a bit worried and take the 2nd seat after being given the first coz of my 'experience'

fell in the water a couple of times and did lots of effort

hoping against hope the brokes wouldnt arrive

the day so hot and the water so deliciously cool

we finish with some beers

some crazy lady on the street told me something about being hermoso and something else i didnt get

more driving followed to arrive at 11 at the accampamento

some beers and some sleep in the hamaca

next morning we are off to go piranha fishing

very cool

a few unsuccesful spots and we are away

no luck for me or any other gringos except peter from coventry

eventually got one

scary scary little fuckers with nasty teeth

then we go looking for big anacondas

the guide, junior and some other fellas go wandering around swampy stuff with big sticks

no luck really

on the way back we see a little one which gets cranky when junior tries to pick it up

hardly epic 8 metres we had heard about

back to the accampamento for a big old booze up

i only had about 10 then went to bed first

party pooper shooter
