29th October – 30th October 2017 After getting on the ferry again, I only had another half an hour to go, in order to get to the next island on my visit, Mantaray Island. I didn’t sit in a very good place on the boat, as I sat in front of the glass doors, so …
27th October – 29th October 2017 After getting on the ferry at Beachcomber, the journey was a little bit longer than I had previously experienced, as it lasted about an hour and a half. On the journey, we moved from the Mamanuca Islands, into the Yasawa Islands, which are a bit further out from the …
26th October – 27th October 2017 After boarding the Yasawa Flyer at Bounty Island, I had a ten minute journey until I reached my next destination, Beachcomber Island. Apparently Beachcomber Island is known as the ‘party island’, which I wasn’t aware of previously and I wasn’t exactly in the party mood, as I was still …
23rd October – 26th October 2017 After getting on the plane in Los Angeles, it probably took me about five minutes to fall asleep and when I did, I was out for a while. I missed the safety messages and whole taking off process and the next I heard was the air hostesses bring around …
22nd October – 23rd October 2017 After leaving a sad Sabrina behind, I got the Uber to the airport ready for my flight. When I arrived at the airport I was still a little early for check in, only by fifteen minutes, so I was glad that I didn’t rush at the hostel. I sat …
17th October – 22nd October 2017 Getting on the truck to leave Paraty, I was quite tired, but everyone decided to sit together to have a ‘party’ on the last truck ride. This obviously didn’t happen and we all were probably the most unsociable we have been: people either put their headphones in to listen …
14th October – 17th October 2017 After leaving the campsite in Brotas just before 6.30, I tried to get some sleep on the truck because I really didn’t get much during the night. I lay down and closed my eyes but I didn’t have much luck actually sleeping, unfortunately. At around 8, we stopped off …
12th October – 14th October 2017 Leaving the bush camp at 6.30, the temperature was a good one to start the day with, as it wasn’t too hot. We had a long drive to do though so we knew it would get hotter as the day went on. I managed to get some more sleep …
11th October – 12th October 2017 After leaving the Fazenda Aguapé Pantanal at 11.30, it took us just under two hours to get back over the very bumpy, 54 kilometre road that we drove in on. Once we got to the end of the road, we took a short drive back to the supermarket where …
9th – 11th October 2017 After leaving Bonito three minutes early, we had about three hours to drive to get to a town to collect the local guide who was staying with us during our time at the Pantanal. On the truck, it was another hot day, with temperatures in the late twenties by 8am, so …
