We began the hike at
9am, having split into two groups: the slow team who called themselves
torutgas, and the tigers. The tigers took the harder route, while the tortugas
took the easy route along the river.

The hike was fun, a
lot of fun. We went up hills, down valleys, crossed rivers etc.
Some parts were
tough. I slipped and fell a couple of times, as did everyone else. We ended up
crawling on all fours in some sections, because they were so steep. Because it
was a rain forest, it was damp and wet in some sections, and therefore very
slippery.
We had a break to
catch our breaths and get some a fruit snacks. We had lunch at around 2pm. We
got to our camp site at 4pm, tired and hungry. Luckily, tea and biscuits were
on the ready. After the snacks, we had a dip in the water. It was cool and
nice. I also learnt to skip rocks on the water. Afterwards, we changed into dry
clothes, had dinner, and more tea and coffee. Then we played jungle games:
- This is a cup, this is a cup, oooo cup
- Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Whoop, Johnny, Whoop, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny!

I went to bed at
9pm. The mats were very hard and it was difficult to fall asleep at first.
Afterwards, I fell asleep, but kept waking up every couple of minutes when I
needed to turn. The floor was very hard and uncomfortable, and I couldn’t wait
for day.
