Keep waking up to about 10 new bug bites each morning, my legs are officially ruined - no chance of looking good sunbathing now haha :P
And it turns out I'm actually allergic to mosquito bites .... Out of all the things I could've been allergic to :/ my legs are soooo itchy and covered in massive red spots - one of them even turned into a massive bubble and one of the guides had to pop it for me, it was disgusting! I've just had the worse morning ever .... We got in the trucks to take us up to the hill where our trek was going to start, and then we all set off. It was so steep and apparently it would stay that steep for 40 minutes :O me and a few of the other girls were trailing behind a bit, along with our travel guides. It was such a struggle, just imagine; covered in sweat, legs covered in itchy bites and walking up a steep hill in about 30 degree heat. We had been walking about 30 minutes up this steep slope when the air started to get thinner, that's when my troubles started, I was struggling to breath (not like walking up hills in Scotland, at least there it was always fresh air available). I then started panicking that I couldn't breath, and then panicking and crying because I have never panicked like this before it was horrible. One of the girls, Charlotte, was great help. She sat me down and told me to breath slowly in and out and then one of our travel guides gave me a bottle of water with ice in to hold on my face and cool me down. One of the guides then said she would take me back down and we can get a lift to the place we're staying tonight whilst everyone else carried on. Once I had calmed down we slowly made our way back down the slope where a truck was waiting halfway up to pick us up. After a very bumpy ride we had another 15 minute walk to the accommodation but luckily it was mainly flat ground so it wasn't too bad. The accommodation is quite nice but very back to basics, luckily we're only staying here for one night. Hopefully the trek tomorrow won't be as bad, I think it's suppose to mainly be downhill which is good and then we'll get to our next accommodation which is a hotel with a swimming pool, I can't wait! I'm not too bothered that I didn't manage to finish the trek today, it had been the thing I had been least looking forward to of the whole trip, but I'm proud of all the others who did manage it :)
