Sunday 24th May We get ready early to leave with friends for a visit to the country side. They end up being a bit late. We travel for about 2 hours to a place with caves and waterfalls and enjoy walking and cooling off in the water. It takes awhile to find a suitable lunch spot, and a bit lacking when it arrives. We watch river activities- there is a very strong current. We also try a local sweet. Jellied fruit covered in something sweet. Chocolate flavoured so...

Saturday 23 may Our friends arrive to collect us for church and we arrive a little late. We receive a warm welcome. The sermon has already started and it is adventurer day today. After the sermon we have prelims and then split for classes. For lunch we go to one of the youths house for lunch and met some of Carla and Andre's friends. We have a fun time. We get dropped back to the hostel with plans to meet up later. Later we meet up again with their friends an...

Friday 22nd May I check the time and it's 4:30am. I hear steps and wonder what is beneath me but two drowsy to check. Later the guide says there were armadillos about.

The take down is quick and soon we are off to a local families home. We walk around and see what they grow. We walk ar...

Thursday 21st May We get up early to take a boat to see the sun rise and it's very pretty. We get back and have breakfast. We make the end of the line, but again not enough food and those who come on the time said virtually miss out. No bell or nothing. Really disappointing for an expensive tour! After breakfast we head out in the boat for a jungle walk. We arrive at a spot in The jungle and start walking stopping frequently for explanations of creatures and p...

Wednesday 20th May We wake early to be ready for our 6:45 pick up. We eat the remaining food and drink. It's not much: and when we go out to reception there is no breakfast bread out yet. We have to walk down the street to the 1st hostel (there are 3) as we didn't know we were going to be moved when we booked and we gave the tour group the 1st address. We get there and wait and wait and wait. It starts raining so we go inside. Malcolm goes back to the other host...
