Coroico to the Amazon Jungle

Just come off a 3 day river / boat tour to the town of Rurrenabeque in the Amazon. Although we had not intended to come here this way, it has saved me a 14 hour hell bus trip!!! It was fantastic! At the last minute we managed to meet an Ozzie couple, Alaina and Justin (who happen to live in Maffra, Victoria - under one hour away from Mum and Dad´s), who were well up for coming along. On the 1st night we camped in a fruit paradise (no one had lived there for years but the fruit trees were huge, and it was fantastic eating so much fruit, i.e. watermelon, coconut milk, star and bread fruit, sugar cane...). And the last night we stayed on the side of the river on a sand bank, and swam / showered in the water falls. We even drank fresh water from some cut down thick vine limbs! We went for jungle walks where the guides had to use machettes, and we fished for and ate piranahs!
