Wellingtons are de rigor in the jungle and they are our footwear of choice from morning to night! Our village walk takes along a narrow path, past the medical clinic started by Yachana and onto the village green. Mud all the way!

When we arrive coco beans are drying but are quickly removed as the afternoon game of volleyball is about to start. This is the secondmost popular sport… soccer of course is the first!

Past very bleak classrooms and volunteer accommodation and onto the village itself. It is so not like where we are staying. Huts, surrounded by mud and dirty washing hanging on lines with children everywhere and chi cha cooking on fires underneath the houses. But you know apart from a few crying babies everyone seemed cheerful and happy.

Back for drinks, fab sunset and dinner and ready to meet our guide 6.00 am tomorrow morning. Who knows what is in store.
