...our jungle lodge on Rio Negro...surrounded by wildlife specially thousands of alligators and millions of Piranhas fish....we know there are Anacondas ,Pumas,Panthers and Jaguars too but they are all nocturnal and very difficult to see...but we know that THEY were probably watching us at some point in our stay in Pantanal......Pantanal is half the size of France and it crosses Brazil-Argentina-Bolivia and we were very near the borders of both Bolivia and Argentina-it is mainly swamp land with jungles thrown in-it has very few people and no towns or roads-it has the greatest concentration of wildlife in the world and it is lot easier to see than in the Amazon Jungles...
... sunset from balcony of our lodge ...
...there is no better way to fall a sleep than in a hammock in the jungle...here we are trying to have afternoon nap as the sun really heats up...
...this lawn is teeming with birds of every kind all day but specially in the morning ..and when the lights were turned on in the evening there were thousands of bugs everywhere some the size of our palm and we had to run a gauntlet through them each night to get to our bedroom.. and when you got there there were frogs waiting for you on the door,in the room and in the bathroom...in the end we just left the frogs were we found them and bugs under 2 inches well we just ignored them and we just got use to them...honest! ...as we were about to leave our lodge we found Vedanta palying with a baby SNAKE...I am not kidding and it was about 12 inches long and very newly born...harmless said our guide Lewis...
...there were futbal matches every evening at 6pm as the sun goes down on the lawn between the river and the lodge...
...BRAZIL v TOURIST
...you don't want to know the scores...all I would say is if I were Harry Redknapp I would definitley sign up our cook and the barman-though the barman may need to loose some weight!....
