Eine Reise durch Lateinamerika

Such is life

Crossing Latin-America

 


 

 

  Snorkeling in an aquarium


We experienced this adventure at the Rio da Prata near the little town of Bonito. Due to the calcium carbonates in the water all the particulate materials are absorbed and sink to the ground. That's why the water in the rivers is cristal clear and nature developed an amazing unterwater world. For the visitors it is just three hours of floating through another world.
As an exception the underwater pictures were not taken by us! And that's how it happened: Due to mz stinginess I didn't want to spend the 20 Euros for renting an underwater camera. But when I put on the diving glasses the first time I just wanted to freak out ... but it was too late!

I was saved by James from Southafrica! When we got back to the hostel in the evening we met James and a german guy (sorry, I forgot his name), who wanted to do the tour the following day. The two guys did not want to rent a camera neither, also due to the high prices. But we made a deal: We rented the camera together and everyone had to spend only a thrid of the price. James was defined to take the pictures and the next evening I burned CDs for everyone. So at the end everyone was pleased and we got our pictures finally. Thanks a lot James, we couldn't have done it better!!
