Day 23: 23/7/12 Had to leave the hotel to go to the airport at 5am so another early morning. Whatever way I looked in the mirror this morning I saw a weird black mark kind of on my hip- I rubbed it and it was some kind of a spider that was stuck to me- dont know where I picked him up!! Flight was at 7am. When I got on the plane AM, Sile and Siles cousin were right behind me! They were meant to get a flight to sucre the day before but the airline went bust! The ...

Day 22: 22/7/12 Stayed in bed as long as I could today- wont have many lie ins for a few weeks I'd say! My room was by the road and I was expecting to be woken really early but it was fairly quiet around- they obviously don't get up at 5 round here! Just made breakfast by 10- ha some kind of cereal. Don't know what it was but it taste nice! Then I went down to reception and there was a sign up from g adventures that the group will meet at 7pm and perhaps have d...

Day 21: 21/07/12 Had a big long shower this morning- really savoured it after being filthy in the jungle! Checked out of the hotel and went to the airport. I checked in my bag and then myself n Muir went for breakfast. After we went to the book shop and bought something to read for the plane. I had some Peruvian soles left and Muir had some dollars do we did a bit of wheeling and dealing and swapped! Then it was time for me to go to the departure gate. Poor Mui...

Day 20: 20/7/12 Woke at 3:30am with the cold!! You wouldn't expect that in the jungle. The yanks were awake shortly after and talking which kept us up. We wanted to give Lucho a tip (the done thing around here). He was supposed to wake the yanks at 5:30 so we were planning on catching him then, but of course they were ahead of schedule and already at breakfast by then. When we had our breakfast they were gone on the trip so we left a note with the tip in it for ...

Day 19: 19/7/12 Woken this morning to what we thought was rain but it was drops falling of the trees and a russet-backed olopendula bird (sounds like a drop). By the way, our day attire leaves a lot to be desired! Muireann has stayed in the same clothes- sleeping and living for the last four days- she feels mank, as you can imagine! I have changed at night but mostly the same day clothes. We wear our trousers tucked into our socks so the ants won't get into ou...
