Swim with piranhas or fish them?

Yesterday we discovered you can swim with piranhas without being eaten alive, unless you have a cut, then they might take children as starters and adults as the main course.

So Lennox had a cut finger and bowed out, but the rest of us all gained a million penis points by swimming carefree with the deadly fish.

Having mastered swimming with them, the kids were energised to catch them, and that includes Lennox. Nobody took up my suggestion to make a cut in their finger and dip it in the water. Instead, they borrowed fishing gear from our boatel. Thereafter, the stories of the one that got away came thick and fast because, of course, it's razor-sharp teeth bit through the line.

The boatel should get a special mention, it's Flo's 2nd favourite worldwide, quite an achievement. Its 4 floating guest rooms and a floating reception/ dining area on a beautiful tributary of the Amazon. It's owned and run by a lovely family of 16 brothers and sisters. Cesar, the boss, also acts as a boat driver and guide. He also sings his one year old niece to sleep at 8 pm, and again at 6 am. So first you have the birds singing at around 530, then comes Cesar.Read more
