Happy one month without me! Yep its been a month already, seems to have gone really fast upon reflection. Im currenlty in Santa Cruz after spending 2 days in the pantanal. Was a really nice area, loads of beautiful wildlife in a very unspoilt setting. This unfortunately meant sleeping in hamocks and having cold showers, which to be honest was nt that bad, i think i slept better than in most of the beds ive experienced. I saw lots of cool animals and saw a Massive Jabawareo stalk eat an alligator a good two foot long! Went on boat trips and horse riding through the waters as well as two hikes early in the morning. Also went swimming in the river with alligators and pirahna which luckily is nt as dangerous as it sounds. Had 6 oclock starts recently! Then had a tough days travel in a truck for 4 hours then a train for 15 hours to take me deep into Bolivia which i like as its dirt cheap. Had an all you can eat meal for less than a pound today, barbecued meat and pudding! Only down side is that i`m getting bitten alot. Got a flight to Sucre tommorow, will keep you posted, love nick x
