Today was an easier day. In the morning we made jewellery from seeds. We had to drill holes in the seeds using a fork and some of them were pretty tough. One of the red ones took me about half an hour as you had to also be careful you didn’t put too much pressure on and crack the seed. Once the holes were drilled we learnt how to weave them onto the thread and we made braclets.

We then used the stone of the jungle mango fruit, which is like a mini coconut, to make rings. You had to saw a piece off, cut out the middle, sandpaper it down inside and out, polish it and then rub it in ash to give it a final shine.

Here are the finished products:

We did also see some butterflies that fluttered around while we were working on our jewellery. There was also a wierd kind of grasshopper jumping around.

The resident cats were never that far away either.

After lunch I took some more photos of the ecolodge. I really liked the design of the toilets – basically they were snail shaped with the toilet in the middle and you just changed the sign when you went in to say if it was occupied or not.

Early afternoon we got the boat back to Rurrenabque. It was actually quite sad to leave the jungle – I’d really enjoyed being there.

After checking in at the Max Adventure office I headed back to the hotel for a much needed shower. I also dumped all my smelly wet clothes into the laundry.

In the evening Ditte, Heinrick, Katrin and I met up for dinner at Moskkito restaurant. I tried their pisco sour and it was really good.

And then it was time to say goodbye. I’m looking forward to seeing all Heinrick’s photos though as he had a really good camera and is a great photographer.
