A final update from Zulu 3 at Cabo Blanco! We are pleased to say that we have finished working on the path. We are all really relieved as the 10km walk through the humid jungle was really taking it's toll on us. As well as finishing the path we also helped out on the tourist information stand and built a slpiway onto the beach for the coastguards to launch their boats to prevent illegal fishing off the coast. Don't worry- as well as all this work we have still managed to have enough time to relax and more importantly to work on our tans. Weit also turned barber for a day, leaving Erick with a cool new look for his return to field base. We had an emotional last few days in Cabo Blanco and were very sad to say goodbye to such a beautiful place and to leave behind our pet coati Steve. On our last night at Cabo Blanco the ranger treated us to an amazing meal of smoked fish, salad, rice and beans. It was a delicious meal and a lovely way for the rangers to say thank you. All of us in Zulu 3 have bonded really well and we are all going to miss one another. Now we are back at field base we are going to make the most of our last few days of Raleigh. However with all the talk of Christmas and presents, we are looking forward to getting home.
