Day 5

Back to the boats down the river to the main camp and a canopy walk today. I must remember to start taking my malaria tablets today!

I have not moved out of bed so I don't know how sore I am yet!

...OW!!!

Well we made it back to the boats in about a third of the time it took us to walk to camp two days earlier. It was a good pace back. First there was Dave, David, Triv and me... Then Dave and David dropped me and Triv off by about 5 mins.

Took my boots off and had a paddle about in the river as we waited for the boats and the rest of the group.

Tracey and chris were about 20 mins behind us.

As we went back in the boats we didn't have to portage them this time. Which makes me think it was all for tourist benefit on the way out!

Canopy walk this afternoon... I don't think many of us would have done it if we had been furnished with the fact that as it's not fruit season there are hardly any birds and no monkeys! I did however have a very bitey big ant drop on my arm from an insect trap above the walkway.

If he was endangered he is now extinct!

Dinner was at a restaurant just outside the complex. The food was not very good. Although we did buy two bottles of vodka from there. (actually we sent David to get the first bottle after he caved to peer pressure! He totally failed to put on a poncho spending about 20 seconds trying to put his arm in the rucksack bump!)

Tracey had spent quite some time bragging about how much she could drink... And that she was half Polish.

Guess who was the only person to pass out and vomit?

I am guessing she will maintain it is because vodka and vegetables don't mix!!!! It was probably all Sean and Jess's fault for introducing us to the game 'speedbunny'

The rainforest lived up to it's name last night! Just as Chris and I started to carry Tracey back! It then became a group endeavour with Jess and David helping out too!

Tracey was a complete dead weight as we carried (jess carried) her back to her room... She was most I'll as we laid her on her bed... Luckily for me all over Jess!

Tracey is lucky to have a stand up mate like Emma... She switched from being mildly drunk and giggly to focused on her friends wellbeing in an instant... She wouldn't even let jess and I play Buckaroo! (you stack as many things as you can on a recumbent drunk person... The rest of the rules are just the same as the game with the plastic mule!)

There was the most stereotypical fat, loud American girl in the restaurant. The vodka made me tell her I was amazed she had found Borneo without having to invade it.

She was Orka fat! Stupid with it too! I decided to christen her Jabba the slut as she was plating it up for 3 of the caver guys. I can't believe they let her sit in the people seats on the plane instead of tranqing her and making her fly freight! She is here teaching geography apparently. (I know, I know, an American teaching geography... She probably meant to get on A flight to Boston... Borneo, Boston, they both begin with a B and 6 letter in there names!)

I would like to point out that I have met some fantastic people from the USA but she was not one of them.

I did an evil thing at the restaurant... I had purchased the most realistic looking fridge magnet bug from the gift shop... I then palmed it to Henry and he snook it onto the table next to Lisa's elbow... She screamed and shot sideways when she eventually made contact with it... Lisa swore revenge!
