A Visit to Hector’s Island
On Thursday morning we took the bus to Coca. It was the first time we had internet access in 4 weeks and nearly everyone had a huge plate of chicken.After lunch we had an hours canoe ride to Hector’s Island in the middle of the Rio Napo where we spent the next 3 nights. On our walks we saw a lot of monkeys and two snakes. At midday when it was really hot, we jumped in the river or lay in a hammock.
My favourite moment was when I went fishing and caught surprisingly a big crab. I called the crab Hopper and gave him to Hector on the last day to say thank you. The last 3 days were definitely one of the highlights of the GVI Amazon expedition.
