Weather: Soggy
Mosquitoes: Too cold for mosquitoes.
A rather muted day. A bit more of the same really, more boat exploration, more fiery political arguments between my companions. Up to this point I hadn´t really got involved and held a diplomatic silence. But this morning they got onto the subject of badger culls and TB... I think the Australian hippy almost pushed me in with the alligators when I told him my views on the situation. The American suddenly wanted to be my best friend.
After a bit we dragged our soggy remains back up river, but I did manage to see some more beautiful dolphins. The truck to Rurrenbaque took almost four hours as the unpaved road had turned into a swamp. We all arrived back soggy and exhausted... the day was saved by an amazing bit of Bolivian cuisine which consisted of fish filled with cheese in a red wine tomato sauce (naturally accompanied by the standard Bolivian two carbohydrate chips and rice.)
