With the billy stew cooking nicely over the burning fire, the four of us stripped into our togs and galloped down to the Amazon river, even though it felt like we were in the Antarctic. With the supervision of Mrs Fielder and Mrs Ilton following slowly behind us we all stepped foot in the water and instantly jumped out. As we found that the current was far too strong to swim in, we rediscussed our plan.
After five minutes of examining the water, we decided together that it was alright. So suddenly I jumped into the water with great awareness of what could happen. With my body fully emerged in the water in the ice cold water, I started my quest to get to the other side.
