The floods have arrived!

In the space of just over a month, our Pantanal home has been totally transformed by the annual floods. In this time, the river has risen by approximately 5 metres, meaning that many areas that were dry during the dry season, have now been gobbled up by the floods. The photo below shows an abandoned section of river beside our lodge, before the floods arrived...


And this next photo shows exactly the same place after the arrival of the floods...
