Wednesday started at 9am. We borded the bus and everyone was so excited because today was rafting day! Our professor gave us motion sickness medicine cause there were a lot of sharp turns continously. After the bus took the medication, someone noticed one of the side effects was drowiness!

At first it was a little overwhelming, but once we figured out that the train symbol is not the same as the bus symbol...life got easier. We took a bus to a train and then walked 4 blocks with all of our luggage --- the weight limit was 50lbs for the plane and I used 48 lbs. Oh yeah buildin' those muscles...kind of. Once we saw the hostel we were so excited that we found food and took a nap! We had been up for 26 hours because no matter how hard you try it is impossible to fall ... read more
