Just popping out..... Back in a jiffy!!!
Just spend a really great couple of days in the jungle!!!!!!
Stayed in a jungle hut up in amongst the trees and one night in a floating raft hut on the lake!!!! Open the back door and dive straight in the lake!!!!!
Saw some pretty good wildlife in the jungle too - wild boar, eagles, great hornbills, minator lizards, leaches, spiders bigger than your hands, leaches, and monkeys jumping and swimming in the lake!!!!!
The highlight was the cave trek!!! It took an hour and a half trek through the jungle to get to the cave and about an hour in the dark to get through to the other side of the cave!!!!! That's where we saw all the big spiders and some stunning natural mineral formations!!!!! We got very wet too as the river that runs through the cave comes up to your neck at one point!!!!!
The cave was only 'discovered' about 15 years ago!!!! Before that it was inhabitted by communist rebels for 6 or 7 years!!!! Our guide's uncle (and our boat driver) was one of the rebels who lived there and had turned himself into the police and signed an amnesty agreement!!!!!
The only dampener on the whole trip was that my camera got wet and no longer works :-(
Off to Koh Samui next to get back into the swing of beach lazing!!!!!!
