This morning we had rice and noodles for breakfast, at project we started adding the metal bars to the bridge, you have to tie them on with metal wire, it is quite hard to tie them well enough to ensure the bars don't move with the weight of an adult on them.
After a while we downed tools and listened to two local girls since karaoke, one was Alfonsos niece, their singing was fantastic, before we got to camp some people didn't believe us and thought a CD was being played. Tommy has played a prank on some of the boys by pouring shower gel on their pillows, he is really quiet as he is worried he will be in trouble, it's odd how he thinks that's bad, but being rude and swearing isn't.
This afternoon we are going to a fish spa to have the skin on our feet nibbled off. First we had our lunch which was fried eggs and tasted lovely. The tickle fish spa was a short walk away, in the UK the tickle fish are like an inch long, here they were a foot long and fat! When you went into the river for them to nip you it was so painful, they could engulf an entire toe, they were even ripping hairs out of the boys' legs.
When we returned to camp Fabian hosted a jungle preparation class to get us ready for our stay in Batu Puteh. He taught us how to set up our hammocks, jungle essentials, knife skills for cutting various things, it was a long class but it was very interesting, some of the kids weren't quite as excited, but it came in really useful actually. When we returned to camp we had doughnuts for snack time, they're so good, and I'm going to miss them when we move on.
Tonight we are having a BBQ, Sabrina and I are slightly nervous with our dodgy tummies.
Poor Sophie is really struggling, she has autism and Amy and Rob just aren't helping here. This afternoon she has asked if Sabrina and I can help her pack, her stuff was absolutely everywhere, we managed to get all of her belongings into the living room area of the long house to help her pack. It seems she hasn't done any clothes washing and appears to be wearing the same underwear for several days. Rob didn't seem concerned at all when he told him, quite frustrating as really he should be her advocate. We got her all sorted in the end.
That night we just relaxed in the communal area before bed time.
