It was one of the most beautiful places
The Orinoco river is so beautiful and what took my breath away, was when captain called me up to deck to look over the side. There were families in boats which were made from trees with a hollow cut from centre of the trunk and these were their boats. The people wore little clothes but guess they had more sense as the temperature was well up in the 40s. They had paddled out to ship to offer us bananas in return for any clothes or shoes we could give them. Their homes were built on stilts along the banks of the Orinoco. It was all rain forest and you could see the monkeys jump from tree to tree plus dolphins try to race alongside ship, however there was a few more creatures that didnt warm my heart like the night we arrived and gangway was put down, what was waiting but giant and I mean giant snakes at the bottom of the gangway. The scenery and landscape was so amazing and beautiful
