Jungle Barbecue

At about 9 in the morning on the Wednesday, we took a jeepney around the little island. We stopped at some view points, 5 minutes each, on a long drive to our jungle entry point.  Here is a quick picture of one of the jeepneys we saw on the way. This owner's name is on the back of the truck, like all of the stores.

Isn't that the name of some serial killer from America? I swear it is.

Look-out point number 1. Beautiful, you can look for 5 minutes. No more.

Stop-point number 2. The waterfall, you can look for five minutes. No more.

After this, we headed to the drop off point where we were to walk back into the jungle for our oasis swimming and barbecue.

Along the way, many of the local children were accompanying us and making conversation with us. They also showed us many interesting things, this boy is getting a cocoa out of the tree. Apparently they are worth good money.

The cocoa.

This little guy, Brian, is trying to steal my bird. He was far more charming and handsome than I, so I kicked his ass. Chicks dig tough guys! HAHA

Finally, we reached our oasis. We swam, refreshed and relaxed.

The barbecue was going, and the feast was spectacular. The meat, fruit, coleslaw and ice- cold drinks really treated us well.

We finished with an ox ride out and a 2 hour kayaking trip that was less than climatic. It was hard work though. All in all, they day was super, it was the best organized tour I had ever taken. For the finally of this post, you can see one of the odd plants that was littering the trail to the oasis.

Keep up the entertaining and educational blog!

Hey Jake, It looks like you had a great trip. How expensive were the day trips, accomodation etc. You've motivated me to start saving!

you are lucky that plant did not take your finger off

Actually, Karl Wayne Jeff is a cousin of mine. Second, twice removed, or something like that. I think he lives in Idaho now...

Is this the same Shawn that you work with and has the China life Blog? What a tool that guy must be. Why are you friends with such a loser?
