Why not kick it off with a great cruise down the Amazon with Fred Olsen's Braemer.
The Amazon rain forest is an amazing place, I have been lucky enough to spend a few days there, on a river boat out in the jungle, with no mosquito nets! how brave is that ? or how stupid ? no word of a lie, I didn't get bitten must have been all the Rum I was drinking, must have smelt well off to the mosquitoes.
Whilst camping on the river boat I had the chance to take a canoe trip out with one of the locals for a spot of Parana fishing, along the way we happened upon various snakes and spiders. The fishing trip was fruitful taking several fish which were not wasted, the river boats cat was well fed that night.
The best part of the trip was the next day, when we were lucky enough to witness a freshwater dolphin swimming past, a rare sight.
What you will notice about the Amazon are the cloudless nights, the sky is full of stars, the last night a spent lying on my back just looking skyward, with the sound of the jungle it was amazing, a memory that will stay with me forever.
