What looks like a river, but is in fact just a water logged path..
Ziggy taking time for a little refreshment after one of the river crossings:
Mud, glorious mud!
Oh and so much water..
More mud, but fortunately a few boardwalks too:
Lining up for the river crossings, it looks deceptively easy in the picture:
The second, and far calmer, crossing:
Beautiful riverside pastureland:
The village! The building in the centre was our home for the duration of our stay, the thatched roof in the distance was the shelter where food was cooked and the metal roofed building to the left of our house, behind the tree is the school where we held clinic:
Philipp testing out his hammock tying skills:
Part way through construction.. more hammocks and mosquito nets to go up. We use the nets here not for mosquitos, of which there are very few, but to keep off the many spiders, scorpions and possible reduvid bugs (carriers of Chagas disease) that live in the thatched roof and have a habit of dropping in at night to come and say hello:
Game of village volleyball in progress (using a football we brought):
The beautiful river that runs beside the village. Crystal clear, cool but not too cold to put you off and in the most incredible jungle setting. Suffice to say that bathing is the highlight of the day!
Our supper being prepared:
Luke entertaining the masses whilst we ran clinic inside:
Katy with one of our trusty horses, loaded up with medical gear ready for the long walk home at the end of clinic:
