I just got back from my trek.. Karen and I decided to do 4day 3 nights instead because it was only $15 extra.. it was lets say and experience! The first day we went to the market to buy food.. and by food i mean rice, vegetables and eggs and lots of it! Then we spent the next 90 minutes on the back of a moto bike.. iv said it before and il say it again its amazing what you can fit on a single bike.. we had a backpack in front of the driver, 12 bottles of water between me and the driver, me sitting on my hands trying to hold on for dear life, and my backpack on my back pulling me backwards.. Karen had the same but instead of water she had pots and pans inbetween her legs.. It was so hard to hold on going up the hills i seriously thought i was going to fall off.. so we survived that part then at lunch and our guide met us with our 'boat' to get to the village.. the boat was a tree trunk cut in half, full of water all we could do was laugh, we spent the next 3hours on the 'boat' and got to the village where we set up our hammocks and ate dinner.. Next morning we got woken up at 6 for breakfast mmm wonder what we are having rice and veg yet again, then treked thro the jungle for 3hours until we came to a almost dried up river for lunch.. which was different.. we had carrots this time haha.. and we were attacked by flies!! Then we treked further to the camp site and swam in the river which was much needed!! Meanwhile the whole trip the guide in front of me was smoking a joint the whole time.. what?? We spent the night in the jungle which was really cool but i heard animals all night and it was really hard to sleep knowing there may be a tiger around somewhere.. The next day we treked some more back to the village and spent the night there again.. i cant believe what these people eat.. the guides caught fish when we were at the river and brought them back to the village to eat.. the fish were left in the sun all day and in the morning they were half eaten and covered by ants but hey why let that stop you eating it.. ill pass thanks.. and 1 of our guides found a dead baby bird that had fallen out of the nest it was that young it didnt even have feathers mmm what should we do with it.. why not put it on a stick.. grill it and eat it for dinner??? YUK!!
Today we Kayaked down the river for three hours and by kayaked i mean me and Karen were too lazy so we sunbaked and drifted the whole way haha and now we are back in town..
Im about to go get my passport fingers crossed its there.. and 2moro we are heading to Laos yay I'm really excited!!
Bye for now
