Lastnight it rained and rained and it was difficult to sleep, along with that the 100+ mosquito bites we all had were becoming incredibly itchy. I got up early and waited for the 8am breakfast - however the rest of the group were very sluggish getting up. Today for breakfast we got these deep-fried donut things, fruit salad and an omelette all of which was delicious just not enough unfortunately. The rain got heavier and so the only option for this mornings activ...

After a very good nights sleep and even a bit of a sleep-in for me I was up at 6am to do my exercises. Unfortunately I was already covered in 100s of bites and incredibly itchy all over. For breakfast we had scrambled eggs, fruits, pancakes, bread, Choco milk and tea and at 9am we headed off into the jungle again, however in a different direction.

I packed my things, hung out with Nyrzha and also managed to book my flight to Easter Island for next month. Unfortunately around midday it started to rain and my plans of not needing to take warm clothes with me slowly dwindled. After eating lunch and saying goodbye to Nyrzha I ...

Today was another day with not much to do, just waiting around and doing some planning. After much deliberation I decided to book my ticket to Easter Island - unfortunately it wasn't that straight forward and I spent the whole day trying to get my payment to go through. In the end I decided to head to the airlines office and try do payment there, once again I was hit with a brick wall and told if I wanted to pay in the office it would be another $150. So after he...
