Our first year wedding anniversary


How do you celebrate your first year wedding anniversary in the Amazon jungle? Well, we recommend the following. Walk one and a half hours to the bus stop and take a two hour bus ride into the nearest town. Buy food so you can cook up a storm in your house that has no electricity. Some examples of fine food: Nutella, Forrero Rocher chocolates, burritos, marshmallows, chips and the best $3 bottle of red wine available. The bus could break down on the way back so be prepared to walk a couple of hours in pitch black darkness, down a mountain and through muddy swamps. Any thoughts of the real possibility of being bitten by a snake in the middle of the jungle or that you are lost should be rejected immediately as they enter your mind. When you finally arrive at your house at 10:30pm, take a naked bath in the river before passing out in bed. Spend the next day alone with your spouse, have nutella pancakes for breakfast, tuna burritos for lunch, skip dinner for dessert, wine and toasted camp fire marshmallows. Be totally mesmerised about where you are and what you are doing and fully enjoy every moment.

Hey guys, I had meant to drop you a line and tell you that I remembered your anniversary and wanted to wish you a great day. You guys don’t need my good wishes though. Glad to see the 365 day honeymoon is still going great guns. I loved your blog about random apeshit. Will see you both back in Sydney soon. Love ya, Maria.
