"In January 2003 I rented a boat with five friends to travel from Manaus up the Rio Negro to Barcelos. Gil Serique was our guide -- but really he was much more than that. From day 1 he was one of the gang. He was our friend and confidante. Funny, clever, engaging, eternally fascinated by the forest, imaginative, sensitive and tireless -- Gil made sure we had one of the best holidays we've ever had. If I go to the Amazon again, he's the first person I'd call. "
