Our trip continued with a trip to a waterfall for a swim. I had forgotten how hard a waterfall can hit you. I couldn't stay under some areas for long, but then maybe i'm just a wuss :P Oh man, click on the next image, it's awesome but blogger messes up my formatting

Actually it was a bit of a sad story with the waterfall. We had been swimming for a while and then someone noticed that there was a half decaying dead dog in the corner. So yeah, that was a bit of a dampener on things and also made the girls freak out. Tony, our guide and the coolest guy EVER, took the dog out and gave it a more dignified place in the forest. He's really cool like that.
So with the dog gone and us not really feeling like swimming in dead dog water we headed up the road for a bite to eat and the real start of our trek.

The trek was pretty easy going, i thought. It wasn't too much different from what i had to do at work. The surroundings were lovely, and a lot like New Zealand forest. But then, i always say that. We did manage to find this little yellow snake. Which was quite venomous apparently.

Poor little guy.
So other things we learned on the trip: how to throw a knife, that little lizards are cute and when you see a termite mound you should put a nice leaf on it and you'll get a nice girlfriend/boyfriend.

Almost got to the first village for a stop and the trek got a whole lot harder. All downhill and all really muddy.

The night was spent being entertained by Tony and eating the best spring rolls i've ever had.
