AMATUK, VARTUK and six (continued, p.2) The second day. We woke up early, ate breakfast, which consisted of scrambled eggs with bread, packed and hit the road. We sailed on the boat closer to the waterfall Amatuk to admire them up close. Above the waterfall we were transferred to less roomy boat, which made it to the next halt. We loaded the boat, crossed to the other end of the island, where live local, then we shoulder the belongings and equipment and take a short 25-minute walk to the other boat. From the heat and humidity, I seemed to have started to melt. But I was on my backpack and hands had to carry a heavy bag with seasonings. Each of us was carrying something. One guy he pulled the motor for the boat, as well as fuel for her! These guys are very hardy, I had underestimated their strength, it is not commensurate with their small stature. Loading boats Even Ruth dragged a gas cylinder for cooking on one shoulder, and so rushed at the other end of the island, like balloon generally weighed nothing. Fred proporol one of the boats, trying to get her into the water and we had to take another. He bailed out the water, we put things and hit the road. We landed to a little stroll through the woods. With us was Fred and another guy, very quiet. Fred showed us the forest plants and talked about their medicinal properties, and so on. Pretty nice walk! I am glad that the forest is very thick. And was upset when he saw the sign, cut straight to the tree. Fred said it is bound. The forest was divided into sections to develop deposits of gold and diamonds. Here is mined gold and diamonds we arrived at the camp Vartuk. Stop here, mostly miners. Should be, they just get a permit or license from the government and then be free miners, except land are Amerindians. We have met the miners in the camp that belonged to the park. They were very nice people. We have been listening to stories about how the gold and diamonds is inextricably linked to each other, and that in these places can be found even black diamonds. We interviewed the miners for how safe for the natural environment are in their development, how they utilize the money that was used to separate gold from dirt, in the hope that they will tell the truth. They told me that in this area of ??gold and diamonds are many. Before starting work miners usually produce an assessment district, some go deeper into the forest. Brazilians are also working here who watch that was not illegally cross the forest border. So we bailing out the boat camp is a temporary dwelling, two-story house with a toilet flush, the miners have settled down, and we are at the top, hung their hammocks. We have cooled a little dip in the river with fast current. Noticed that in the garden growing many vegetables. Dinner was once again memorable, this time to Indian cuisine. I went to the side early, as was very tired. Fall asleep to the sound of a waterfall, gazing at the stars - this is the life of Cottage Day Three. Late at night the rain started and did not cease. For some time, he just poured a river. And still did not stop to go, with a few interruptions, when dawn broke. We have to wait until it stops, and when the sky cleared, hit the road. It turned out that with us in the boat will float a few miners. A small boat, laden with heavy luggage up to the top, plus a dozen people! Those girls are so excited that we are too loaded up the boat and, without ceasing, bailing. Later, Ashley showed me a yellow mark on the boat, the water was close to her. The boat sank so low, even considering that we are not stopping, bailing. It was necessary to maintain this level for several hours. We went up to the beautiful waterfalls Amatuk. There was another waterfall, which was called "six more." I wonder how can we explain this name? Waterfalls "six more" road up was difficult, the stones underfoot slippery, but it was worth it. Amazing waterfall, sun everywhere, no reminders of rain. Ted, Emily and I went all the way to the bottom of the waterfall. Ashley was waiting for us below. I broke my favorite pants are here again! Took them off and climbed on to his shorts. The camp here we were a little more, and after an hour were already in the next camp, Tukite. There was a waterfall, on the other side of the river, and a nice sandy beach, where the soldiers took us to swim. Later, he found there his tent and decided to catch some fish, but we found a lobster and crab. I am very pleased, and before he could say something, soldier turned everything upside down in an attempt to reach the living delights for me, but nothing happened. We returned to camp, but before this soldier showed us a waterfall Kaeter, leapt in front of us. He unfolded a little boat, so we could see it. Hammocks were hung again, spotting with rain. There was also vremyanka. After lunch, we made a fire and listened to the history of the Soldier, the legends of waterfalls. At 7:30, as the last time we went to sleep. Before that, Ted has invented an ingenious method of using pit latrines, he sprayed air freshener before you go there the next "visitor", it worked! You do not smell you know what. I went next, great idea! Nets were hung over, but not from mosquitoes. From bats, vampires! We did not want our blood sucked out of these guys. Sunset we saw a few bats, but were not sure that it is vampires. Frank argued that knocked one somehow. Start material: Read more:
