After a 7 hour bus journey, which included a cheeky visit to Mc Donalds, Delta Yankee 3 reach Piedras Blancas National Park. on getting here the group quickly adjusted to life in the jungle, sightings of frogs, lizards, monkeys, snakes and other creepy crawles became a regualar occurrence. One girl, Sarah, whilst having a shower, had a frog watching over her, CHEEKY FROG!!
The group have also just completed construction of the jungle camp complete with bashas beds, kitchen and dining area as well as a jungle gym, all of which is made out of bamboo, string, tarp and wood.
In the morning, from 7am-11am the group work on a trail which was started in phase 1 and will be completed by the end of this phase. Its safe to say, there isn't much in life, that betters the feeling of jumping into a cold river as a group, after a hard days work getting dirty and sweaty from using pickaxes and spades, not to mention the heat and humity.
In the meantime, Luiz the ranger has done a great job providing fresh fruits and vegetables such as; agua manzana (water apples), coconuts and guavas.
In the evening Luiz has kept the group entertained in the ranger station letting us watch films like borat, which turn out to be a great film even for Costa Ricans and Nicaraguans. The group looks forward to spending more time with Luiz in his ranger stations on the sofas with a warm cup of tea in hand.
Who would thought we were in the Jungle?
