The most strenuous vacation ever!

After a deep, deep nights sleep after our exhausting jungle hike, we woke up early the next day to go out looking for the pink dolphins that cruise the Amazon along the Peru coastline. It was so exciting and yet at the same time very serene. Our guide was great at locating some dolphins (both the regular gray and the funny shaped pink ones). As we got closet o the pink dolphins, he stood in the back of the boat and whistled for them to surface. It was pretty darned magical!


The pink dolphins are bigger than the regular ones. They have larger fore brains that give them an odd, bumpy look. They also have longer snouts. The older they get, the pinker they get. Very interesting.

After the dolphin hunt, we went for a little tree climb. Now that was cool!!! We had to pull ourselves up using two clamp-like things and inch-worming our way up the ropes.


Aaron up a tree!

It was sort of strenuous, but was easier as I figured out to keep my rear end close to the rope!!



And the climb was so worth it. What a view out through the canopy!


It was only right that after such a view, we headed back to the 4 star hotel in Leticia where we could relax and get ready for our most strenuous vacation day ever!!



Our room was so spacious! And Aaron got to finally sleep in a hammock!!



And as a bonus, I got this shot with the "Tarzan of Colombia" himself!
