Thumbs Please

After meeting Mr. Locos, and drinking the sacred 185 proof jungle juice, we had our choice of taking another afternoon "walk" in the jungle, or cutting out after lunch. We opted to catch a ride back to Tena to tell the tour operator about some of the things I didn't talk about here, and to try to get some of our money back (I try to break free from complainy-pants mode in this blog, though I don't do all that well). He was very receptive to the complaints and suggestions; however, when I mentioned a refund, it was as though he was pretending not to understand what I meant, even as he was understanding every word I was saying. Anyhoo, I try not to drone on, and only plug places and services when we feel they really deserve it, but I have to give Amarongachi tours two thumbs down. Don't get me wrong--we had a great time. I don't want this blog to be viewed as a delivery system for negativity, and I won't go into the complaints we had. I just needed to get this off my chest: Amarongachi = 2 thumbs down.

Shangrila, however--which, ironically and sadly is run by Amarongachi--gets four thumbs up!!
