Mayo fell in love with Leah then peed on me...

Hey guys,

Fresh off the canoe, speedboat, motorbike, plane then taxi, ´we´ve just gotten back from the Jungle and are hanging out in a very cool hostel in Lima...

The last few days have been very cool.... plently of time to lie in our hammocks reading, with the odd jungle excurision to break up the days... 

Today we went fishing for piranhas, and I caught 5.. though 2 got away... and Leah also managed to catch one, and caught an angel fish.... Yesterday, we went to a local village and while we were chatting to the locals, they happened to show us a massive Boa Constrictor that was just cruising around... It was totally surreal cause there were 4yr kids running around patting it as well.... Very bizarre...

Strangely enough, our ¨"hotel" in the jungle could accomodate 80 people but there was just 3 of us... Leah, me and another girl we made friends with from our last tour who decided to join us.. It was cool.. The hotel had no electricity in our rooms, so we were going to bed VERY early...

As for Mayo... Hes a monkey!..We stopped via an Island where the monkeys come and climb all over you... While one took a big liking to Leah and tried to drag her into the jungle.. when it came time to give me a hug.. he peed on me... Dirty little bugger...

Anyway.. . We´ll definitely post some photos soon.. but my dinner just arrived so i´m going to run and eat...

  1. As long you eat and don't get the runs (again!) that would be ok for you to go! Sounds like you are having a holiday from your holiday so far. Monkeys are such funny little devils - you cannot read their minds. Hope all is well.
    Take care

  2. To our wayward flock

    Now, do you see what strife you get into without MJ fussing over you... can't let you out of my sight for one moment... now come here so I can get that dirt off your check with the spittle on my hankie.... ahh that's better.

    Perhaps much to the dismay of those biologically-linked family 'intruders', the real family (and of course the IC) date claim the first Friday evening of your return (1st October) for drinkies and stories regaled of your great adventures. Mummies, monkeys, parasites and pirhana not welcome.

    We have missed you immeasurably.

    Much love
    MJx

  3. Are there pictures of Katie being peed on? Please tell me there are! That's gold :)

    Can't wait to see you ladies, the countdown is on! MJ and I are already doing our hugging stretches... you may have escaped the boa-constrictor but there's going to be no escaping from our mama-bear hugs!!!

  4. Good to see you are back out of the wilds of the Amazon. Monkey pee, isn't that good for your complexion? Sounds like it was all great - an no tourists!! We are ready to see the action photos.
    Is that an updated flight time you have Leah? The one you left me says the plane leaves at 8.30am

    Have fun, stay safe..Enjoy Buenos Aires and Iguazu
