Jurrasic Park

Hi all,

Rather a shock yesterday morning, went to pick up my jacket off the floor and a dirty great big spider crawled out from underneath it! Made me jump a little. Took a few pics that I will upload later.

Still it soon scuttled off behind the fridge (think I spotted an even larger one on the celing just as I was going to bed that night, whatever it was it was gone in the morning! Getting rather paraniod about my walking boots now :/)

Putting them to good use at the moment, we had a tour booked up for the afternoon that would be a good few hours trekking. The description was a half day jungle tour but I could have spent all day there, absolutly amazing place. Trekking through the center of the worlds oldest living rainforest, there are species of plants growing there that date back over 400 million years! To put that into perspective the first mamals did not appear for about another 200 million years.

The jungle was amazing for those of you who have seen the film Predator will have some idea what we were walking through.

Knocked up a decent spag bol in the kitchen for dinner which made up for a rather dismal omlette that I did for lunch (eggs and processed cheese, not even any salt!(mmmmm 64 slices of american cheese) ).

Anyway must sign off, I fancy another swim in the pool, rather refreshing after a day of being every active. Temp still round the 25 degree mark and this is mid winter here! Must be horendously hot in the summer. Think we will hit the local beaches tommorow, we have been warned that crocs use the shores here somtimes so that will make any swimming a little more interesting.
