Into the jungle...

Best weekend ever...basically too bring you all up to speed last weekend we all went on a jungle trek. We hired paid for this weekend package thing in the jungle and somehow got an amazing price as well. Anyway... on the saturday morning we got picked up by a couple of trucks and got takenm up the mountains onm some death trail for about an hour. It was a lot of fun if not a little scaryu at times. We pulled up by the side of the 'road' and had rice for lunch (suprise,suprise). After that we spent most of the day trekking through the jungle, we stopped half way by a waterfall, and of course we went swimming, it was soooo much fun!! That night we staid in to be honest what was more of a shed than anything else, but i could live with it and the view from were we stayed more than made up for it. It was a small village type thing that i think was made more for toursits than anything.

The next day was pne of the best so far. In the morning we went elephant riding through the jungle. Which I have to say was awesome!!! Which elephant was called Kamen and he was the dad of a baby elephant that followed us the whole way. In the afternoon we went river rafting, in inflatable canooes. It was the most fun ever! I was in a canooe with 3 other vols, Anna, Smithy and Rosie. The best moment was when we came round a corner and on one side of the river the was a huge over hanging tree, the other was rocks and rapids everywhere. Rosie was paddling and she tried to steer us through but when we got close the current was too strong. We were debating which would be the best route when Rosie said "we're screwed either way"... and Smithy said "brace yourself lads" and went AHHHHH!!!!! and hit a rock side on capsizing us, rosie nearly got sucked away by this wierd current but i managed to save her...
