Post by Sidney and Marley:
Our first day involved gradually coming to the realization that we were on a budget tour and warming up our legs with a 10 km hike.
The hike supposed to be 21.5 km turned into a 10 km hike because our start time was little late when our 5:30 pick up time got changed to 7:15 am but don't worry 10 km gave us amble time to get into hiking spirits. Most of the days hike involved singing or making fun of our forest thick leg hair which Sidney could actually feel blowing in the wind.
We reached our camping spot just in time to join the mosquito party where we tried to dance and swat our way out of millions of bite. Somehow the bite count at the end of the day was only around 10. Luckily our budget tour included plenty of food...we enjoyed popcorn, hot chocolate, soup, chicken and rice.
That evening we tried to get to know our guide by playing Go Fish. We aren't sure that we communicated the rules quite correctly since he asked for a 5 when Sidney had just put down the stack of 4 5's. We kept trying as he awkwardly laughed at our attempts to play.
We went to bed early knowing we would be in for a long day and to escape the mosquitos.
Day 1 Summary: excited, hairy, and a little itchy.
