Hanging out in the lounge.Only 4 students opted to go to the orphanage today-Kelsey, Chiara, Sam and Nicole. The rest decided to go to the construction site. Still very HOT and HUMID today!
At the orphanage there was less cleaning and chores to do. Mainly we babysat and entertained the very cute younger kids (under 5).
Construction crew comments:
Sasha says: 'We worked so hard at the construction site that we were bathing in our own sweat!'
Jazzi says: 'I have never seen so many rocks in my life and we had to move them all!'
We left the orphanage by 2PM and immediately went to the ice cream store. Everyone was so HOT!
Once we arrived back at Pook's Hill Lodge, most of the students took off for the Red Cliff swimming hole to cool off.
Tonight several of us will head out for our 1st nighttime jungle hike to see all the creatures that scurry around at night. Should be a different experience.
Tomorrow should be about the same at the construction site and orphanage. We will stop at a local crafts market on the way to the orphanage to shop for souvenirs.
It is so easy to book trips, the staff is very friendly and helpful and they respond to any and all questions

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.

Clara was great to work with. She presented lots of options and always responded promptly. And she found excellent options within our price range.
