jungle trip

Hey all!!

yes i made it back from the jungle intact!!! it was a lng trip, we left 6:30am friday and didnt reach our hostel til 6pm, well after stopping for breakfast, lunch and a flat tyre!! the scenery was beautiful on the way down, the roads were very narrow, winding and for the most part unpaved!!! when we finally got out of the minibus the humidity almost bowled me over, reminded me of florida, but of course no air conditioning here!!!

we didnt do much on friday, just went to dinner and watched the flies stick to the toilet paper hanging from the lights!! that night we slept on to of the sheets with the beds strategically placed around the fan!!

saturday was incredibly busy!! i didnt feel well over breakfast at all, the food just sat like lead in my belly and i wanted to throw up but felt better as we started to move. we went to a national park (a zoo) first to see the caged animals, pancho managed to get his hands on a small baby monkey who sat on the back of the boys heads. unfortunatly it was a sexist baby monkey who only went near the guys and dug its feet in if a girl tried to prise it loose!!

then we took two long narrow wooden motorboats for a trip upriver, it was beautiful!!! it reall felt like we were on the middle of nowhere, with the sounds on the birds and insects all around us!! we went down a few small rapids, the breeze was very welcome!! when we eventually pulled over we went on a hike around another protected area, which was beautiful but way too hot!! we stopped for a rest and to try some cocoa fruit, and after we doubled back to where we came from originally!! i was raging!!!



il have to write a part 2, were supposed to be going out for Laurens birthday and my leaving dinner!!

til tomorrow
Orla
