Dear Parents,
We arrived safe and sound at the Fazenda yesterday only to find that the Internet was down. Luckily a technician came early this morning to fix the connection, which is now working.
The children had an adventurous day yesterday, leaving Miranda at 07:00 hrs and going to the Fazenda by coach, truck and boat. We arrived just in time for a hearty lunch!
There is a lot of water in the Pantanal this year. Locals say it is the most they have seen for some 25 years! However, we have seen quite a lot of different birds and animals since arriving, including Capybaras, Red brocket deer and, of course, Caymen.
This morning after breakfast, the children split into two groups, one doing micro-climates and the other doing water sampling. This afternoon everyone is going camping. We have decided not to camp two nights but to all go for one night.
We will get some children's comments and photos up later, once the morning activities are complete.
Everyone is well and very happy.
Kind regards,
Mr. Robert
Thanks for the update. Given the poor communication with the students (only available via this blog) it would be good to get more updates from the teachers from all the students. We parents only got notice of this blog yesterday and the communication should improve. Thanks.
