本日は東日本大震災から丁度一年。被災者の方々にあらためてお悔やみを申し上げるととみに、一刻も早くの「復興」を願っております。
今日はブラジルでのハイライトであるボニート近郊のパンタナール随一の名所「リオ・ド・プラタ(Rio Do Plata)」にシンちゃんとタツとで行ってきました。
出発は10時半と聞いていたので朝食後プールサイドでのんびり。洗濯でもしようかな、と思ってたら、「迎えが来たよ」と。9時半ですが・・・。まぁ、用意はもう出来ているので、バンに乗り込みます。
ガタゴトと小1時間ゆられ到着。ここでウエットスーツに着替えてトラックに乗り換えて、トレッキング・トレイルの入り口まで。川までジャングルの中を2キロ歩きます。
しばらく歩き、川にようやく辿り着きました。「なんていう透明度なんだ!!」とうくらい透明な水。素敵です。底までくっきり見えます。魚もいます。
早速水の中に。デカイ魚が。
沢山います。
群れを成してます。
皆堪能してます。
ここは、スゴイ。こんなにキレイな川が存在するなんて。
ウエットスーツで身体はプカプカ浮きます。結構流れがあるので、浮んでいればそのまま流されていきます。シンちゃん(上)とエロ格闘家タツ(下)
出た! この川の王者「ドウラド(Dourado)」。黄金という名を冠した肉食魚。確かに鱗は金色だ。この魚も美味いらしい。
流されているだけなので、楽チン、と思いきや、結構疲れます。
だんだんと終わりに近くなると、透明度が下がってきます。
さあ、もう3時近く。昼飯、昼飯。バフェ方式の取り放題の昼飯なのでここぞとばかりに食べます。2回もおかわり。
食べ過ぎました。
満腹になったところで、急に睡魔が・・・。ハンモックで休憩。
シンちゃんがオウムと戯れる。ガブって噛まれてます。血も出てます。
再びバンに乗り込み、宿へ。帰りのバンでは爆睡。
そんなこんなで一日楽しみました。
いやぁ、ここはお勧めですよ。
明日は「蒼の洞窟(Gruta do Lago Azul)」へ行ってきます。

It's been a year since the disaster of East Japan Great Earthquake. Still there are lots of people suffering from the damage. And the worth more, the radio active substance are still being spewed out from those nuclear reactors.
I wish peace will be upon those suffering as soon as possible and the radio active problem will be contained as soon as possible.
Today I visited "Rio do Plata", one of the best place in Pantanal. This place is famous for its clear water and fish lives in.
I joined the tour with Shin and Tatsu. The van was supposed to pick us up at 10:30am, so we were relaxing at the side of swiming pool after breakfast. I was about to do the laundry, the van came to pick us up. It was just after 9:30am. 1 hour early!
Anyway we were ready, so we hopped on the van.
It took about 1 hour to get to the visitor centre of the ecotourism. There we got changed in a wetsuit and we hopped on a truck to get to the starting point of the walking trail to the river.
We walked about 2km in a jungle. Then we arrived at a beautiful river. I was amazed with how clear the water was!! It was so clear that it was like no water existed there. We entered the river (no jumping in! As we should not scare those fish away!).
There were lots of fish. It looked like we were in air as the water was so clear. In fact, I felt like I am a part of the river - being water.
There were small fish, middle sized fish and big fish.
Dourado is the king of food chain in this river system. They look scary. Dourado means "Gold". The colour of their scales are gold like colour, that's why.
As there was a current, all we had to do was floating, then we were curried away.
A few places, there were strong current and shallow, so we had to be careful not to hit rocks. But generally it was an easy swim.
As we went down he river, the visibility in the water decreased. Around 3pm, our tour in the river ended. We started to swim around 12noon, so we were in the water for 3hours.
Back to the hut, we had buffet lunch. As I was so hungry, I ate a few plates. In fact, I ate too much.
We all got sleepy, so we stayed on hummocks. Shin was playing with a parrot though.
