Day two was hopefully our push to the Lost City tour. The walking had Caroline still puffing uphill and Murray helped by carrying the camera.
The jungle flora was beautiful

And by mid-day we had arrived at camp. Unfortunately due to rain we couldn’t carry on up to the Lost City, but had an afternoon off. The river pool here was somewhat more refreshing and we had an afternoon nap, what a luxury. The evening passed in talks on the history and customs of the local tribe. Originally, we were told, that at age 18 boys and girls are matched, married, they live in a hut together until their first child. A second hut is then built for the man and sex only takes place outside. The following day this was amended to the boys at age 16 sleeping with a woman over 45 to ensure they had the right experience for their bride. How true this is we have no way of checking.
Thankfully the mattresses at camp 3 were a little wider, so we didn’t have to be separated at night!
