Rurre

15th Jan. Rurrenabaque.
Rurre as the locals call it has the real feeling of an outpost of civilisation in the rain forest.
It is on the river Beni which is part of the Amazon basin and it quite big and powerfull.
The streets are mainly mud, with stones to make them useable.
They are lined by huge ditches to carry off the water.
In the rain forest, during rainy season, it rains alot, and heavily.
The houses are for the most part made of wood withh palm thach roofs and everyone whizzes around on motor bikes.
