Hi everyone,

We've managed to find internet access again. Last night we bush camped in an amazing forested area, and had a refreshing swim in a lagoon with a big plunging waterfall. The roads are bumpy and dusty, so we needed to clean off and cool down. The drive is made that more enjoyable by the adorable children running up to the truck yelling "white man" - it's weird and cute at the same time.

Anyway we're off to bush camp again tonight just short of the Nigerian border, and then we head to the Afi Mountain jungle for three days. Apparently we're doing some community service in a monkey sanctuary. Should be interesting as always.

Love,

Dawn & Terry
