Return to Wasai Lodge, Puerto
Maldonado
Wednesday the 8th of
September.
We all jumped up remarkably chipper
at five thirty for a breakfast of scrummy pancake, apple juice and a cup of tea
at six o'clock. Getting very used to making our cuppa white with just a few
drips of tinned evaporated milk. Packed and ready to walk down to the boat where
our much trusted driver Cesar was waiting as always very patiently.
 Morning mist over the
river
 Bear walking out
of the jungle mist and very heavy dew that fell from branches like huge
raindrops
 Anne, Alan,
Omar and another of our group heading down to the boat
 Off we go at six thirty, Omar as always keeps a clean foredeck, mop ever to
hand
 The sun doing its very
best
 We waved our
farewell to Junior (half way up the steps), he
had looked after us and served us well during our stay
 The sun trying a bit
harder
 By seven thirty
all the mist had cleared but we were roaring along at twenty seven miles
per hour we had to wrap up warm
 The lumber yard on the outskirts of the city
 Puerto Maldonado getting
nearer - The Barrios
 New pieces of
bridge ready
 Nearly back to
base
 Pulling in at ten
to nine, Anne thought it was lunchtime. Our rooms were being cleaned so
we had a cup of tea and a jam roll or two
 Back in our
original room 501, it soon became a sorting base for the next lot of
packing. Bit of laundry and shower. Only sadness for me - Bear killed my 300mm
lens
ALL IN ALL A VERY REAL TASTE OF
THE RAIN FOREST
VERY JUNGLE-LIKE
EXPERIENCE
