28.08.09 White Water Rafting- Upper Rio Napo

I''m relaxing in my hammock watching the last sunset here in the jungle, after a hard days rafting- what a life! The rapids today were bigger than last week and we flipped the boat once because we went side-on into a big rapid. We were all thrown off and plummeted underwater in a rush of bubbles, surfacing a few metres downstream, only to be faced with more onslaught of waves crashing into us and causing us to gulp for air in between. It was a rush, to say the least. Our 'captain' Gino was insistent on playing games with our opponents (we were split into two crews). He attempted to sink their boat by unplugging the bung, so, of course, we were hijacked by their captain also. It was excellent fun though, if bordering a little on a health and safety issue!
