Three hours of awesomeness and complete sun exposure, we arrived at Indigena tour group's own ecolodge. This place is luxurious considering the environment conditions. The ecolodge is situated right beside the river and slightly elevated for wet seasons. There's power generator for lights and black heat absorbing tank for hot water, which we still ended up showering in cold water anyway. The rooms are simple with regular beds, sheets, thick blankets, and also mosquito nets.
Throwing our belongings down, spray some deet to protect from mosquito bites at night, we headed off to the only shop/soccer ground in this area for beer, sunset and soccer play. The Amazon dogs watched us silently, the travelling couples shared romantic moments, the youngsters and the guides got together for a soccer battle. Holding a beer in hand, I delightedly met up with another wild rover friend. We joined a bunch of strangers in a barefoot soccer play. We shouted, yelled, drank, and laughed while running on dry grass lit by Amazon sunset. Anything goes. "Indigena! Vamos!" I heard our tour guide calling out for us like rushing kids back home. All a little tipsy, we hopped on the wobbly boat and headed back to the lodge. Splendid dinner awaited us. I've haven't ate so well in a long time. Rice, veggie, meat, drinks, healthy diet. I love the soccer playing, what's better than soccer with beer, sunset, strangers?
I love this nature thing.
