13th April 2014

Finally able to update my blog!  I have spent phase 2&3 in a rainforest / Jungle working on an environmental project.  This has been very different to phase 1 on trek!  Rather than write about the two phases day by day I will try and describe the project with lots of pictures and not too many words!!!


WATCH THIS SPACE....update to follow later today (Sunday 13/4//14)

The Local 'SODA' (cafe) and view!


Sugar Plantation visit.....












the odd insect just hanging around...











Jungle Camp, which was home for 38 days......































A 'small' delivery of gravel for the trail!  This was then bagged up by us, taken by quad and then placed on the track by us.....Now I have a full body workout with Trek and Environmental...









The local school, very welcoming and great fun.  All 14 students (6 year groups) learn together in 1 classroom and with 1 teacher.  But, what a view!







































some more of the local wildlife....






















Tenorio National Park.......where I spent 2 phases working on a 3.5km track helping to make it more accessible to see these amazing views....

The water is an amazing blue due to the sulphur from the volcano and the chemical reaction!













Also, a quick update on the rest of my expedition in Costa Rica and Central America...........
I will be here (Field Base) until Weds evening doing the final tidy up and goodbyes.  Then I am off on a very well planned trip to explore Central America (Costa Rica / Nicaragua / El Salvador / Guatemala)  for a couple of weeks all of which I will post on the blog and hopefully more often than I have been!
