the amazon

i have just arrived in the amazon rainforest!
it was about a 2hour drive to the rainforest from the tiny airport but iot is definately worth it.

to visit a rainforest that is known to have the most amount of animal species in the world!
it is about 33°C and i have applied so much aeroguard that i am practically choking on it.

there are wildlife guards either side of me as we enter the AMAZON.

as i get deeper into the forest i can hear the chattering of the monkeys and feel the plants brushing against my face.

when i look up i can see a cheetah family perched up in the tree. the guards take me a different route for my safety.

we have been walking for about an hour now and i can hear the rushing of water.
as we get closer i can start to see the amazon river.
along the river banks i can see hundreds of crocodiles resting beside the muddy water.

as we start to head back my legs are aching.
we take a different route so i can see more wildlife.

as we come to a feild and i can see ELEPHANTS!
they walk so graciously but with such power under their steps leaving footprints behind them.
beside the elephants are a herd of zebras that are grazing on the brown crispy grass.

we walk futher back towards the jeep that we arrived in and as we start to head off i doze of to sleep.
what a day!

ok speak to u soon
