An early morning start again! we were up around 05.00am as we were going on a morning boat trip, we saw birds, birds and oh another bird! nothing much was around due to the heavy rain, it also rained when we were on the boat, we were drenched!
Our group was meant to go on a jungle trek but because of the rain it was cancelled so myself, katie and another guy in our group decided to walk one of the jungle trails ourselfs! covered head to toe in waterproofs, a hat, walking boots and gaiters we set off, we saw many bugs, insects, an eagle right beside us on the ground and a pig thing again. We were trying to find elephants as we found elephant poop although we didnt have any luck :( we walked in all in the jungle for around 2 hours, its mazing seeing all the wildlife right infront of you!
We then set back went to get changed and i found something crawling on my leg! a Leach!!! errrrrr, katie thought it was a worm untill she saw a load on her and so we threw our clothes outside a left them for a while thinking about what to do with them, we didnt want to touch them and they were stuck to our clothes so in our sick twisted minds we cut them off. that was disgusting and them we left our clothes in the shower for ages... they were gone!! RIP leeches but that serves you right for trying to suck my blood against my will!
Another boat trip at 4pm and we saw a snake! yes a poisonous one! we were right underneath it, it was a cat snake or something, black and yellow. We also saw more monkeys.
We went on another boat trip, an overnight one seing many snakes, pythons maintly, vety big long ones! A baby croc which we got to hold, an owl eating a fish in a tree (filmed it will upload the video when i get better internet) eagles, bats and other things. that was my favourite trip.
by the way i also have to add that our legs STILL hurt from this mountain! not fun, one of the workers at the lodge keeps watching us and laughing at the way we all walk! The hotel owner is really cool, a mixture of morgan freeman with a laugh like mr chow from the hangover film! haha.
We went to bed and i saw the biggest, beastiest size wasp ever in our room! Katie hid in the bathroom and i ran out, one of the guys in our room came to get rid of it, he first used my sleeping bag to hit it, that failed so he used my drinks can, Katie occasionally peering out the bathroom shouting kill it kill it! and thats what he did. It was then flushed down the loo. These wasps are horrible and huge, the are also vicious acording to the locals stinging you and making you swell up!
