Welcome to the jungle

In the afternoon we get onto a boat to get into the jungle. We get there around 6pm. We are staying with indigenous people. I'm quite surprised of their living standard. They have wooden houses, electricity, phones and tvs. They live of the nature growing bananas cacao, and also tourism. We eat dinner and afterwards head on a small walk to look for tarantulas. In 30 minutes we found like 15 tarantulas. Super impressive. Afterwards we go to the bed quite early. The hot environment of the last days is taking its toll. At 4 in the night I wake up with bad stomach pain and have to go to the toilet urgently. In the next 24 hours I'll have to do that 15 more times. I don't know exactly where it's coming from. My travel companion Joey also has been feeling very bad for quite a few days. Maybe I got something from him or I swalled some swamp water when we were swimming in it.
However, after a quarter of a pancake for breakfast we made some chocolate from scratch. We roasted the beans and the grinder them down. Mixed with sugar and milk we got chocolate. But to be honest it was not the best chocolate so far. Afterwards we went a walk trough the jungle for a little more than an hour. I felt super nauseous, very weak and was sweating like hell. We saw some bullet ants, a lot of termites and the guide told us about the dangers of the plants there are. The conclusion is don't touch anything you don't know what it is. And he also got me the bark of the palo santo tree to make a tea to help with my stomach pain. After lunch where I didn't eat anything we made some sugar cane juice. It was quite sweet. Then it was already time to leave the community. On the way back to explored a small creek with some water running trough it and a lot of bats. In the evening we wanted to go to a small festival here. I tried to eat some pizza but felt really bad and tired. So i went to bed and took some medicineMeer informatie
