hammock boats

I`m headed out of Iquitos today toward Pucalpa, to continue South to Cuzco, Titicaca and Chile. I bought a hammock yesterday and will be riding for five days up the Amazon in the same hanging state as the pupa in the picture...I won`t have wings when I get off the boat and out of my cocoon-of-a-hammock, but after five days of sweaty cramped metamorphosis, I`m sure it will feel like I`m flying. Hopefully, I`ll have a chance to write some good descriptions of my experiences here in the Amazon, which have been incredible.

ps. I accidentally bought a hammock that is a good two feet too short for me...these could be long days.
