Posted on 2:44pm Monday 13th February 2012

Posted on 9:24am Friday 10th February 2012
Today's wake up was at 5:30am for a 6:30 start, surprisingly not so bad - Guess I'm getting used to the early starts now!

Day 2 - The Moorlands
Posted on 8:52am Thursday 9th February 2012
Today we went above the jungle and into the moorlands to find a completely different landscape, which was incredibly scenic however had plenty of opportunity for a tan / sunburn as it's much less covered, therefore sun hats were essential.
