9th June
Could hardly sleep in the hammock last night. Stevie was 'soundo' all curled up in a ball in the middle. she can sleep anywhere. After a while i managed to get a few hours sleep. Relaxing with morning glory when out of nowhere Paulo comes over and is ushering me with such enthusiasm to follow him. I'm stuck! Morning glory in one hand and an enthused Argentine in the other. I hesitate, I freeze, I panic! I look at Stevie for reassurance! I duck and cover and decide to follow Paulo intrigued at what he has to show me. It's free coffee and sandwich! Excited to see how far we have gone down river we look outside our amazement we were still in the port. God knows when this boat will leave. Thomas is still moaning about the lateness and wants compensation. Paulo keeps expressing his dissatisfaction by saying the F word alot in different tones. Kensai keeps himself in his cabin.
The weather is hot so we can catch a tan while we wait around.
Stevie found some bug in her hair, she thinks it might be a bedbug or tick. So is freaking out, threatening to cut off her hair.
We are finally moving... Only to stop off at the next for 500m down stream to fill up with fuel. You would think we would be on our way. Far to easy! The water is to shallow to reach the fuel tanker on the embankment. Rumour has it we might have to wait until 6pm for the water to rise!!! Its only 11am.
We are looking at 24hrs delay. So I guess this 5 day trip is now 6!!
Some locals swam to the boat with the petrol tank hoes so we could leave sooner.... we are on our way finally!!
Mid day is getting hot, Stevie and I decide to have a nap in the hammocks and like deja vu I am awoken by our loco Argentinean friend again ushering me to follow. This time its good. It's free food. Beef, beans, rice and noodles. It tasted so good. Hopefully I will not regret it later. Thomas said at dinner that he needs to find a women now that he has eaten meat as it makes him produce.....! Weird. I laugh to my self while Paulo nods not understanding.
