We saw "Congo" ants, about an inch long and very aggresive - their bites can cause serious illness and fever for 2 or 3 days. Further along the walk, we also saw a type of tarantula - it was quite small but apparently much more dangerous than the more common larger tarantula.
Later in the morning, we went tubing down the river for an hour or so... needless to say, I fell out a coupld of times and got fairly well sunburnt on my legs, it was excellent fun though.
We then piled into the boats, and headed further downstream to stop on a small beach for lunch, before continuing to the Amazoonica animal rescue centre. Here, we saw several monkeys, loads of birds, turtles, capybaras, parrots and even ocelots (a type of wildcat).
After a loooong trip back upriver, we finally got back to the lodges at about 5.30, and sat around the fire to chat about the day´s experiences.
