Leaving Karanambu

One last look at the Giant River Otter cubs



And a Thank You, to Diane and to Andrea & Salvadore (below)


We load, one last time, into the  boats - Marilynn, Martin, Elaine, Clif; Kenneth driving the boat and Salvador on shore


Down the Rupununi to Ginep Landing, birding along the way, but we're a little behind schedule so we don't dawdle much.  We're about 1 1/2 hours on the river at a good speed.



Where we are met by Ron, Milner and drivers from Surama village


It was a two hour drive to Surama - the distance probably wasn't all that far, but the road was full of potholes.  The road is the main thoroughfare from Georgetown on the coast to Lethem and into Brazil. 

We made a pit-stop at The Oasis.  Oh my, I bought a Coke.  I dearly wanted a bag of chips or something junk-foodie, but no.  Dang, this is a healthy country!


We would be back at The Oasis to walk, no climb, that Panorama Nature Trail in a few days.  In the meantime, on to Surama.

  2. Thanks for checking out my blog, Jason. The otters are neat. And yes, TB, they are huge. These are babies (1 year olds) and the larger one is at least 1 1/2 times as big as a male North Am. river otter.
