Sorry guys we've just had the chance to get onto the internet now, but we're all having an amazing time in KK. On the Friday for our first day we were just getting used to the heat, and we got our group into little teams of 4/5 and sent them off to do tasks such as finding places for us all to eat, local transport times and activities for us all to do. The groups were successful and we walked to the bus stop and used the local buses to go to the beach, the water was sooooo warm! After the beach we walked to the night market and that was an incredible experience, there was so many different varieties of local foods such as fish, chicken butt, fruit and veg and these amazing little drinks called ABC's. We got caught in a massive rain storm and we were soaked but it was worth it :)
On Saturday we headed into Miki's Jungle Camp with a 6.15/6.30am start! During our time there we went on night walks, looked at animal traps, camped out in our sleeping bags and listened to the boys scream like little girls at bugs :) we learned how to make floor boards and cups out of bamboo and weaved. We went crab fishing in the river near by and out of 21 we caught 6 crabs which we ate in soup later that night. Thankfully we managed to escape without many bites or leech attacks. Fiona was the only one to have 2 on her feet and ian had a large one on his stomach. Our walk back out was fairly challanging but overall we all had an amazing time in the jungle, it was definatley worth it :D
Arrived back in KK yesterday and went to the night market again for some food. Today we are off to the three islands where we can snorkle and swim in the ocean and soak up the sun. Tomorrow we fly to Semporna for our diving experience and we should have more access to the internet there for everyone else in the group to leave a comment.
Everyones having a great time and cant believe its been a week already since we left home! Missing you all.. not :)

ReplyDeleteHi Kaliopi Tsokaropolou (child of the corn),
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful time and that you have, thus far, not been eaten by a monkey.
If you think that Kay is high-tech enough to write a blog comment, even if it is for her only child, then I am afraid you are gravely mistaken. And as for Jimmy, well, I am afraid they don't have blogs in Greece. Furthermore, they probably haven't yet realised that you've not actually just been in your room all this time.
So, I remind you once more: I am a better parent than they.
Farewell, have a safe flight, and remember: an angry monkey is a dangerous monkey.
Lots of love,
T. xxxxx
PS. We've given all your belongings to the salvation army in your absence.
Hi Dean. Did you actually eat crab soup??? There will be no more excuses accepted at home that you don't like fish from now on! Or did all the rest of the group tell you were eating chicken? (Not that I would ever do that). love mum
