Canoe - Jungle Trail

The wake up was early, 5a.m., because you know it is always better to paddle along the river when it is not too hot and being before other groups is a good idea as well. The first our was perfect. We could hear the howler monkey from deep in the jungle, admire lots of birds, be amused by spider monkey flying from branch to branch. When, suddenly, what had to happened, happened. It began to rain....a lot. And it was no more amusing. At all. Considering that it is 7a.m, it is raining, you are freezing, you are paddling and apparently the only ones (Boats are now overtaking us. Either the guide is paddling for them or they have a silent motor). People are looking at you as if you come from Mars, because YOU are paddling under the rain without raincoat with a number... Well at least we saw some caymans!
During the afternoon, after a 20 min hot shower and a nap, we went for a walk in the national park to see our new friends the capuchine...
