Birds and Crocodiles as far as the eye could see.

Day one consisted of a walk and some piranha fishing. we saw hundreds of Crocodiles and lots of birds but the highlight was the Capiwara a 1m high Guinea pig. During the fishing we caught about 15 Piranha the biggest being about 15cm, we did get to eat them though and they are quite good.

The next day we went horseback ridding, we saw almost no animals because the french guy in our group, had no idea about horses. He would get them all riled up and they would run round uncontrollably until he hit a fence or a tree, while he yelled out expletives in french. He went trough 3 horses until he found one that was calm enough for him to ride. But is was almost worth it because the rest of us were in hysterics watching it.
