Those have to be the most skankiest toilets I've ever smelled in my life! It was all I could do to keep from vomiting. I'd take a big breath of air, prepare my toilet paper, and run to finish my business as quickly as possible. The worst part was that it kinda smelled like asparagus... I like asparagus... AHHH!!!
On the contrary, I must be in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Like a mountain scene from the movie Heidi. Like Yosemite or Glacier National Park, but of course so very unique in very different ways...
The river beds are a layer of green limestone rock, which gives the water a lucious aqua color. Deep pools of crystal clear water invite me in for a swim. If it wern't for the rain and 9 hour trek ahead of me, I'd be in in an instant!
Got a great little travel hammock I can bring along with me : ) and now I can sit back and play my guitar... and let the bruises heal?
Just two days ago, we spontaneously decided to go for a bit of a tramp... Wil, an English guy, Blair a guy from Scotland, and myself...
Isn't that pretty? It's taken about two weeks to heal. In fact I have a whole collage of bruises... each one with a great story!!
In total I have about 24 blisters on my feet, two big red ones on my hips, and a very soar Achilles tendon- the 5 day tramp
That beautiful one above from getting ready to jump into the waterfall- I got excited and slipped... I was the only one to come out with such a masterpiece.
Got several all over my biceps from bringing up parachutes over the last couple of days
and a nice tan/sun burn to match all the other colors.
IT WAS ALL WORTH IT!
... plus the sandfly and mosquito bites... but they go away too
Oh, did I mention Blair hadn't quite been on a backpacking trip like this before? I suppose we all had a rough time with a few days rain, but it was sure nice to end in a hut with a hot fire, and good meal! Plus, you've gotten a little taste of the scenery we were in!
