In the Jungle, the mighty jungle!

After locking our backpacks away with the mice in the cupboard, we waited impatiently for our trek group 2 arrive. 9 in the morning & already thinking that travelling through the jungle with all the bugs was a bad idea, a truck full of men turned up ready 2 take us on our journey. 5 French, 2 Irish, an Austrian couple & our 2 Thai leaders- 10men, 3ladies! cosy!
Like all Thai drivers, ours was a nutter, over taking on bends n wotnot, we were actually glad 2 get out for our 1st task. Swapping our trainers for flip flops, it was off 2 the river 4 some bamboo rafting.



Our raft leader was winding us up about crocodiles being in the water! :(









We got some pretty hats for our trip- hahahahahahaha! Geeks!




Jessie just sat back n relaxed, while the water soaked her bottom :(


After having a traditional Thai lunch we made our way 2 the start of the trek site, having a rest, getting ready, the boys played football n i out did them at shooting bottles.








We started on our way, up a massive mountain, probably the hardest thing iv ever done!



We bathed in a waterfall, it was so cold, but so nice after walkin in the heat! We had 2 get changed in the jungle, tried 2 find a consealed area, getting ready balancing on our shoes so our feet dont tread on giant ants, definately an experience!



We got to where the tribe lived and had a nap before dinner :) after dinner we all sat around the campfire singing & drinking moonshine (homemade whiskey- apparently!) me n jess got every1 singing in the jungle, the mighty jungle, all people from all nationalities, it was so surreal! Although the crazy tribe man wanted 2 sing old macdonalds had a farm with a pig duck 'snort snort' he was so off his head! you could smell him a mile away!

We then went back down the mountain, after havin bout 50 pieces of toast, back 2 the waterfall, made a lil boat. then had lunch, rode elephants, n then they decided 2 ride each other! crazy!

After we got back, we went out wiv the lads, had a crazy 1 on our 1st experience of thailand redbull, excited n hyper was not the word!!
