End of the road..

Well, tomorrow will be my last full day on this wacky adventure so I should probably update this blog business.
Firstly, let me say that my 3 days in the jungle were unbelievably good! As I said to Joe and Annick, this holiday has been the adventure I always daydreamed about back in my school days.

Trekking through perilous jungles, evading blood sucking leeches while listening to the screeching of some alien like bugs nearby. Witnessing, close up, sulphurous boiling water exploding through the earths crust and gushing up infront of me. Swimming underneath beautiful waterfalls and up and down rivers after helping build the bamboo raft we would later crash and bash our way downstream the following day. Travelling for hours from one closed off village in the mountain to another on elephants across the deep rivers.
I should also mention the evening we sat around a small fire in the local tribes village by the river, listening to the chorus of Crickets and seeing the dance of hundreds of fireflies around us. The sky lighting up every few minutes with the fading promise of heavy rain to come.

I could continue to talk of our jungle adventures but that's a story best told in person! =)

Since then, we've travelled over long distances on hot, sweaty night trains, bobbed across the ocean on a ferry to a strange island where we swam in the warm waters during a rain storm and where I currently sit, getting eaten alive by mosquitos.

Tomorrow we set sail around the island to discover the exciting, undiscovered secrets of the coral reef... or in other words, we're snorkling and looking at fish!

Signing off! =)
