WELCOME TO JUNGLE

2 DAYS TRECKING, 1 DAY KAYAKING

1st Day - " Wild Pig"
Our guide Paul was hang over, which made it nice easy walk. Next members on our team where Bridget ( Canadian), Kevin (English) and Mr. Me (Guide). It was lovely walk, Kev kept us entertained being silly, and his "Wild Pig" chant kept us amused, which happened after Me Romi asked Paul if there are any wild pigs in the Forrest.
When we have arrived into the village we had our first public shower, in the river while watched by the locals, but it was so refreshingly cold. We have played card, drank beer, dance round the fire...

2nd Day - "Roasted Pigs" V " Hanged lunch"
What a great alarm clock the chickens are, especially while one of them was being hanged to be our lunch. There was still some hot amber from the night before, easy to start fire for the cup of coffee. And we have become to understand how the pigs be prepared to become bacon.... as soon as the tea was done and the kettle of the stone, little pigs gathered round the fire to keep warm...which came as handy trick on day 3...
Tracking was bit more challenging as Paul was in full form, some of the bamboo bridges did not prove to be so strong as Bridget's foot went through, which did not really reassured already scared Reni.
Next Village - Lao Lao
In the next village we had our first taste of local drink Lao Lao, which was not that bad, only bloody strong, but no dead snake or horrible after taste. The local kinds helped us to collect wood for a fire. We had dinner with more sticky rice. After dinner we made the fire, and the best moment of the day accrued, as our hut was on the edge of village, when the locals come to us to sit next to the fire, we sang and then they sang back to us, it was such a great honour and pleasure.

3rd Day - " Do like the Piglets do"
Kayaking - again for both of us it was a first time.
Reni and Paul, Bridget and Mr. Me, Romi and Kev those where the teams.
Me ( Romi) and Kev for the first few, well many occasions got stuck on many rocks as the river was so low, but not low enough for Kev to have few proper bathing experiences. While Me (Reni) had a romantic sail, Paul was singing to me, took me under the trees... First stop, some of was were getting of the Kayak on to the dry land, but Me (Reni) was coming out of watter... so the next lunch stop the trick we have learn from our little friend come handy. One fire and tree little piglets, oh sorry tree foreigners steaming over the fire.
When we got back we did not really want to have anymore sticky rice for some time, the rest of the day we have just relaxed.



HURA DO DZUNGLE

2 DNY TURA, 1 DEN KAJAK

1. Den - "Divoke Prase"
Nas pruvodce Paul byl po opicy, coz znamenalo lehka prochazka. Dalsi clenove naseho tymu byli Bridget ( Kanadanka), Kevin ( Anglican) a Pan Me ( Pruvodce). Byla to pekna prochazka, a Kev nas delal blbiny, a jeho pokrik " Divoke Prase" nas rozesmaval celou cestu. Vzniklo to po me (Romci) otazce zda v tomto lese ziji divoka prasata.
Po prichodu do vesnice, jsme meli prvni verejnou sprchu, v rece pri dozoru domorodcu, ale bylo to osvezujici a studene. Mastili jsme karty, pili pivo a tancovali kolem ohne...


2. Den - " Opekane prasatka" V "Objeseny obed"
Je to nadhera mit jako budicek zvuk objesene slepice, vetsinou kokrha kohout, ale my jsme to meli lepsi. Jeste byli v ohnisti zhave ohliky, dost na konev kavy, a take pochopeni jak se pripravuji prasatka na to, aby se stali slaninou. Jakmile konvicka byla z kamene, tak se prasatka nahromadila kolem ohne a ohrivala se.., tento trik jsme meli moznost vyuzit i my, ( den 3)
Tura byla vice narocna, protoze Paul byl uz ve forme, nektere mosty z bambusu Me ( Renca) vnepresvedsili o jejich kvalite, hlavne ,kdyz se Bridget na jednom proborila noha.
Dalsi vesnice - Lao Lao
Zde jsme meli nasi prvni ochutnavku Lao Lao - mistni alkohol, coz nebylo tak zle, sice to melo riz, ale neplaval tam had a ani to nenechalo hnusnou pachut. Mistni deti nam pomohli nazbirat drevo na ohen. Meli jsem veceri opet s lepkavou ryzi. Po veceri jsem rozdelali ohen, nejlepsi zazitek dne, kdyz se k nam, domorodci sami od sebe pridali a my jim zaspivaly a oni nam to oplatili. Moc to potesilo.3. Den - " Jako prasatka..."

3. Den - " Jako Prasatka"
Kayaking - a znovu pro nas poprve.
Renca a Paul, Bridget a Mr. Me, Romca a Kevin toto byli nase tymy.
Ja ( Romca) a Kev jsme ze zacatku zustali vyset na skoro kazdem sutru, protoze bylo malo vody, ale dost na to, aby se Kev parkrat poradne vykoupal. Prozatim Ja ( Renca) jsem mela romatickou projizdku, Paul mi zpival, podjizdeli jsme pod stromy... Prvni zastavka, vetsina z nas vystupovala na sucho jen Ja ( Renca) jsem lezla ne z kajaku, ale z vody. Dalsi zastavka byla na obed, kde jsme vyuzit zkusenosti prasatek a odparovat se u ohne.
Kdyz jsme se vratili z tury, uz nas presla chut na lepkavou ryzi, na par dni. Zbytek dne jsme pouze odpocivaly.
