Groups allocated, it’s straight
to packing as the groups prepare for the hike to jungle camp this afternoon.
Once there, they’ll be constructing their homes for the night – basha beds and
hammocks, enjoying their dinner of pasta and tomato sauce (ranchera is superb)
on trangias, before bedding down for the surreal experience of a night at one with nature.
You’ll also be pleased to learn
that our late arrivals have also made it to Fieldbase. Welcome Ben, George,
Thomas, Nicole, Danielle and Jose!

Dear Lisa
ReplyDeleteNice picture! Nice sweater! Have a very nice trip.
The 11 city skate trip is not taking place...melting day on sunday not enough ice...
Star and Nikkidy have a very thick coat and are doing great in the cold.
Little Wolf plays in the snow and Lola puts her nose through the 'cat door'...
Enjoy the nice temperature!

ReplyDeleteHey Ames,
I've been eagerly keeping an eye on the blog, saw you've been assigned to the environmental project first - hopefully you'll be able to tell me what a cloud forest's like when you come back!
Anyways, I'll be sending airmail every now and again, hopefully it gets through promptly (don't worry about writing back soon, I understand that'd be quite hard in the middle of the jungle!).
Missing you lots,
Love, James
For Georgina Webster Alpha 5
ReplyDeleteLoving all the texts and blog, but especially the photos. I have spotted you in a few, but Leo has managed more - always better at 'Wheres Wally'!! All looks a bit 'i'm a celebrity', if you say 'get me out of here' will it work or do you just have to grylls and bear it!! Missing you loads, lots and lots of love M, D, F, R, L, J, M, P,C and A XXXXXXX

ReplyDeleteHi Veronique,
Leuk om je op de foto's terug te zien,ziet er erg opgewekt uit! Ben benieuwd wat je moet doen voor je project in Achuapa. Je boft dat je daar zo lekker warm zit, het vriest hier nog steeds.
Sterkte met je trektocht! We houden je blog nauwlettend in de gaten.
Heel veel liefs, Pap en Mam
To: Pilko, Lilley & Cosgrove
ReplyDeleteSounds like life was a breeze at home, warm dry and you could lounge around till all hours. Dont forget to wash behind your ears and try smiling on some of the raleigh photos - dont worry about your laughter lines! Hair was looking good lads in spite of the conditions
Have a swell time and work hard - it is what you are there for.
Loads of love

Sam Horbye, Alpha 5
ReplyDeleteDear Clam,
I hope all is going well your end... how are the animals? I bet you are eventually overcoming your phobia of stray cats splaad! Just returned from Berlin... most amazing city - I can now see exactly why it was your favourite inter rail city! We visited so many things including the Sachenhausen and the Reichstag. I have lots of cool photos etc which I will show you when you get back. But having returned I have immediately had to return to normal life with revison for mocks etc... not fun at all. Anyways have an amazing next few days and I might blog you on my b day! Also Choellg got a call about his job which could be good news...
Love Ben xx

ReplyDeleteLieve Son,
Happy B'day!!!! van harte gefeliciteerd met je 19e! Ik hoop dat je het daar enorm zult vieren... jammer dat we niet even om de hoek kunnen kijken. We moeten het hier nu doen zonder taarten en gezellige drukte in huis. Hoe dan ook, ik hoop dat je geniet in La Naranjita.. en dat je veel eelt op je handen krijgt van het zware werk...(haha) Dat komt dan goed van pas voor wanneer je weer thuis komt! Ik ben blij voor je dat je dit allemaal kan meemaken. en trots dat je zo hard werkt daar! Hier alles prima... a.s. vrijdag gaan we via Bomi naar Pontresina.... Daar zien we zoals gebruikelijk Hein en Conny. De winter is hier nu definitief voorbij.... dus maar goed dat we de bergen in gaan!
Lieverd, werk hard door.... nog ruim 1 week en dan start de volgende etappe. Enig idee wat dat gaat worden? Miss you!!!!!!!(vooral aan het ontbijt!)
Dikke verjaardagszoen van Pap
For Tom Edney Alpha 5. We are hoping your group posts an update soon. Bet you're having a great time. Tim Maggie and nan back from Hawaii and had good time. Saw Paul run 10k in a good time. Boozy week in Budapest last week, will go again soon. Arsenal have blown it but happily so have Chelsea. Mum has sent letters including things from Maddi and Oskar. Keeping laughing. Dad xx
ReplyDeleteSAM HORBYE ALPHA 5
ReplyDeleteI am clearly not the only person who is longing to hear what Alpha 5 are up to, I think you are the only group not to send any news - please do so soon. Great evening for Bens b,day last night and lots of chat about Mr May. Tom home this weekend and Ollie down for next round of interviews. still without a suit!!!! Farrell playing at No 10 this weekend against Wales. Hodgson injured and got call up over FLood. Interesting. Keep smiling. Love Mum X
For Afsana Tahirova, Alpha 5
ReplyDeleteHey Afsunini, how are you doing over there? Hope you are having a great time with great people. Enjoy every moment of your adventure and bring a lot of exciting memories.
We are doing well, again in mid-term, almost half of the last semester done.
I couldn't imagine to have a friend without internet, out of connection might be so hard. I miss you sooo much.. Looking forward to hearing from you very soon.
Take a very good care,
Loves and Hugs!!! :*
Hey rosie, hope you are having a great time :) The snow has finally disappeared, and it's actually quite nice whether! I'm sure it's a bit warmer where you are though! Have a great time, love you lots, Alex xxx

ReplyDeleteGood to see you cooking!! Looked like a local version of plov! Looking forward to an Alpha 5 update.
James Barlow Alpha 6.visited Milla last w/e. good time watched France beat Scotland, good game, excellent seats 2nd row from pitch. highlight for caroline and your mother was french streaker, came rather close. Wales lucky to beat England, after some dubious changes after half time. The rovers lost again, sooner owners and manager go the better,sold samba to pay debts, 3rd bottom on goal difference.Emma still looking for job. Hope all well, keeping bugs away.Love from all.
ReplyDeleteMaria Gerono - Alpha 6
