Well, I´ve not been able to keep this blog uptodate much, but the trip down the Amazon was fantastic. Actually we spent most of our time in a tributary to the Amazon called the Marañon. Mornings were spent either bird watching, dolphin watching and fishing, or hiking through the jungle. After lunch we did another bird survey. Then after dinner we went out looking for caimen (alligators) to capture and measure.
Now that I´m back in Iquitos things are getting a bit complicated. I had planned to fly out early this morning, get the coach from Lima to Nazca, and then fly over the Nazca Lines tomorrow. The trouble is the airline put my flight back by 12 hours, so I now miss the bus and can´t get to Nazca today. I´ve booked a hotel in Lima overnight, and thanks to a Peruvian and Roger, a Spanish-speaking fellow Earthwatcher, I was able to postpone the flight for a day. I´m not sure about the coach, I may have to buy another ticket. Oh well. Hopefully I´ll be able to update this further tonight, when I get to Lima.
