I was awake before my alarm again. I lay there checking fbk and sending messages, instead of getting up, I justified it by saying that I didn't want to wake the others up, even though it was 7.30am and their tickets said they were checking out too. Dave's alarm went off so I got up. When I came out of the shower everyone was up. I chatted to Ellie from NZ and Claire from Milton Keynes, who had done camp America previously. I was telling them about G and they knew...

Early in the go again! Out of camp just after 7. Getting up wasn't easy with the late night. We drove to a viewpoint nearby, we only stayed a couple of minutes, the sun had just risen over the high valley walls. I took a coupe of bad photos and read a really inspiring quote in a sign: 'The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapour ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, ...

The alarm went off at 5.30am so Becky could get a shower. I decided to get up and have a quick shower to feel refreshed. I had breakfast, honey nut loops and a bagel with cream cheese (Philly to us Brits). G had this cool toaster thing for the camping stove.

I climbed out onto t...

Passed out on the bench and was woken up by the tour manager for the trek! Great first impression!! I then promptly got up, staggered to the bathroom to be sick!! I jumped in the van shotgun as DJ and chatted to the TM, Colin, mostly about dating and what brought me to be...

Day three in the bug brutha owse... Woken up at 2am, not by the guys snoring but some lassie having her brains screwed out of her. The temperature is so hot in the room that we have the window open. After a while I just hear this American guy shout 'ohhhh come awwwnn' haha! However, contributing to being kept awake is the boys trip to The Stinking Rose. Where they 'flavour their garlic with food'. Woke up at 6.06am and then 7.34am having gone to bed at 10.30pm,...
