The trip was delayed a day due to the weather further south. However we couldn't stand another day next to the Americans - noisey b*****s. We decided to move back to Mara's and wait for the boat. Waiting took the form of a long swim and a long time in the hamock - it's nice to be back here. We had our pre departure meeting to the screams of a girl that had fallen out of a tree and dislocated her knee. We hurried back to avoid enduring the big screams when they d...

Woken at 6:30 by a load of loud Americans next door. You didn't really want to make a bit issue out of it, especially when you saw his Pitbull tatoo and face to go with it.

Finding somewhere open was tricky, however at the second closed place, some locals came to the rescue. Where do you go for a cheap haircut? A guy led me off round the corner to a normal house but the guy wasn't there. Undetered he then led me round another corner to what looked lik...
