long week last week[part 2]jungle
daytwo
we woke up at 6..
jes and sara, my group-and-tentmates,
woke me up with their talking..
heard my alarm ring so i woke up totally..
i got them to get ready without me..
leaving me enough space to taake my stuff out..
i left a bit later to wash my face and brush my teeth..
in the guys' toilet=]..
cicadas ok!!
peeing wasnt even safe anymore!!
i changed into long pants in the tent..
and got my things out so we can leave for the boat..
30-45mins ride.. it wasnt as much fun as i
thought it would be.. i had more fun rides then that one..
but i got quite wet.. that was annoying..
at the island..
[i realised i when entering the village, the village
looked different when leaving it..
i guess it really felt like home..]
it was hard going up onto the village, village hall??
something like that..
i thought we were already there..
BUT!!
up somemore.. ergh!
camp..
it was not a pretty clearing..
we had to clear the area ourselves..
my group had 2 parangs..
[you know, the knid where jungle explorers
use to clear a path..
in real life tthat's not actually necessary..]
we split up to look for things that will help
us with construction of our huts..
i helped cut rafia string for binding wood
together with my dad's knife..
it didnt turn out like i imagined..
but it was cosy enough to sleep on..
actually since i had no choice, it was cosy..
so the whole morning thru halfway afternoon..
all we did was prepare for our stay..
at around 4 all of us went to the village center
for a little fun activity.. BLOWPIPING!!
i cant really explain much here..
but after the test run, there was like prize-winning
like competition thing..
so we try aim for targets with tags of the food types
we can eat for the whole journey..
my group got 2 cans of curry chicken..
we ate them for tonight's night dinner
and tomorrow's dinner..
it made dinner taste a whole lot better..
