We went on a 2 day 1 night jungle trek.. that included a 6 mile hike, swimming in waterfalls, elephant riding, bamboo rafting, and whitewater rafting. The 1st day we spent most of our time walking.. 6 miles doesn't sound like alot, but when it's up and down hills in the jungle, it is. We made our way through small villages of tribes to our final tribe where we spent the night in a bamboo hut. There were 6 of us in all, 2 Aussie guys, Italian gal, and a guy from Costa Rica. In the village they made us dinner and we sang songs and drank something that tasted like vodka. It was all fun and games until the morning when I started to feel ill. After the elephant trek I was really feeling it. Whitewater rafting was the most difficult for me because I kept gaging and thinking I was going to shit myself. I luckily made it through and back to civilzation. I don't remember being that dirty for that long. 2 days was long enough for my jungle experience.
Yesterday Elissa and I got teeth cleanings for $15. She had 5 cavities so she got them filled after. Then we got peticures for $3 each.. Then went to a massive night market where we bought loads of jewelry and got $4 massages. Life is good.. and cheap.
We were going to go to Loas, but the thought of going to a less developed country then Thailand makes me want to vomit again.. so we are headed down to the coast, Pattaya. I miss Paradise.
