Rainforest 3

The next day had another long walk in the forest, then in the afternoon went to a visit an indiginous house, where 15 people sleep in one tiny room. htere was a grandma there who was 90 but didnt have one grey hair and was still having to sit on the floor! we tried making and tasted (a ready made version) the traditional drink of the area called chicha made from Yuka which is a bit like a parsnip or potato but not really! Anyway its distusting so i wouldnt recommend it!
The saturday we went in canoe down the river napo. We stopped at a place which shows the traditional traps used in the jungle, and then got to try using the giant dart things that are about 5 feet long with a dart in the end and you have to aim at a bullseye. After we all got back in the river and put on lifejackets and floated next to the canoe for ages.
Sunday left at 3 am for the disastrous bus journey again! Didnt get home until 4pm!
