Butterfly love.....

Transparent butterfly.

I would never before expect that the animals that butterflies can fascinate me so much.... I was already fascinated with them in Asia, than suddenly in Brazil, at Iquazu Falls I came across magic butterfly spot. Finally in Iquitos I visited butterfly farm, where I came across one of the most beautiful life form I have seen. Transparent butterfly.

Getting connected to the Amazon or getting lost in Amazon

Amazon.

Thanks to the night under the bridge while being in Himalayas I managed to establish unique connection with Himalayas and Zanskar river and I knew that the adventure like this might happen also in South America. But I did not expect that I would get lost in the biggest tropical jungle and literally in the waters of biggest world river....

My 24h menu in Iquitos after boat trip.

Grilled fish with grilled platano.

I am asked quite often, especially by my grandparents: "Grandson, but what do you usually eat on your way?" My menu differ a lot and usually I try to eat the staff that the local people eat. For sure my favourite dining place is Mercado (Market).

With the flow of queen of the rivers...

Hammocks on our slow boat.

One of the best Polish movies ever is an cult movie called "Rejs" ("The Cruise") and talks about a interactions between passengers during the river cruise along Vistula and was released in 1970. This move has a very specific atmosphere and is full of mostly difficult to translate polish humor. This movie is extremely rich with great quotations, just to give a feeling, here are two examples:

"...but what voting system can be used to select the method of voting?"
"...it's time for actions, not words. Now let me speak."

Long, long time ago there is no such a river cruise on Vistula river. In most places around the world the river transport was substitute by much faster road one. But there is the queen of the rivers - Amazon, where one can still feel an unique atmosphere of slow traveling, lazy boat going down the stream while one interacts with other travelers on board for days...
