We have a 7 hour bus trip today so up at 7am will depart 10.45am gives me time to go to supermarket up road and also internet cafe, this will be our last chance to communicate with family and friends as we are going into the jungle. We catch taxis to bus station for our journey to Misahualli via Tena, stop along road at 2pm for lunch buy ham and cheese rolls for 50c each. Misahualli is a small quaint town very close to the river with lots of monkeys around. Check into our rooms and then some of us go for a walk to take photos of monkeys and also to check out the small and intriguing shops. We see a monkey take off with a tourist's mobile phone, watch it sitting under a tree and it actually looks like it is trying to send a text message, obviously has been observing us humans and our mannerisms, we see another with a cigarette lighter and Sarah becomes worried when she sees flames thinking the monkey is going to set itself or the jungle on fire, they are very clever little monkeys. Dinner tonight is at restaurant at our accommodation, beef, beans, fried banana, after dinner we go upstairs to bar and dance till 9.30pm. During dinner Carla gives us a briefing on the next 2 day's activities in the jungle, sounds like the trek in is going to be quite tough going but should be fun. Sharing with Julia tonight who is from Switzerland just get nicely settled into bed when she finds a rather large flying insect in her bed so she changes from the top bunk to the bottom, our pillows tonight are like rocks and I end up tossing my on the floor and sleep without it. Didn´t get much sleep it was so humid and the fan was whirring away all night and also lots of bugs in our room, I am wondering how much worse it will be in the jungle but hey it's an adventure.
