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.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
