That afternoon we took a short boat ride to what they call
Monkey Island where we saw, ummm... yeah, you guessed it... monkeys. They were
wild, but at the same time, they were tamed.
After dinner we did a night boat trip up river to see
caymans along the shore. Very dark on the water and amazing view of the stars.
Luckily our cabin had a ceiling fan to help cool us off and get to sleep!
Our first full day in the jungle we got up at 5AM to do a
boat ride / trek in mud / canoe / trek / and finally drift in Lost Lake. Was a
great morning with lots of wildlife including various birds, caymans, spiders
and gigantic snails. Mel was hoping to see a jaguar, but just didn't happen
this day :(
