... ranger with an aluminium boat. Mid journey Peter and I had to climb into Reuben's boat too as ours was leaking a bit and we were all getting rather wet! (We always take the precaution of putting our gear in large plastic bags!). I don't think Reuben minded, he and Ru appear to have a bit of a flirtation going, which was fun to watch. <br><br>We were headed for Waratuk, Reuben's ranger station, where we would spend the night. Although all stops on the way can be reached by ...

... dry rice, which would typically take one third of the width for 200m or so, leaving worryingly little space for two lanes of traffic &#8211; and a bevy of animals. Our driver (who turned out to be called Brian) took all this in his stride, however; whenever one of these difficulties would force him to slow down, he simply turned on his hazard lights to warn the cars behind, and turned them off again as soon as he got past it.<br><br>The other hazard was Brian's ...

This morning after breakfast we walked into the Police Station to get our passports stamped, after a bit of confusion with the man in the office we realised he as the official and got our tourist card filled out and the passports stamped. From there we got directions to the Customs office, here the man asked for the registration, driving licence, passports and insurance papers and then informed us we needed photocopies of all. We had most but copied the last few and also got our ...

We arrived quite late to Georgetown and checked into a cute guesthouse called Rima before heading over the road for a quick beer before bed (always got to try the local beers as soon as possible). We met the owner of the bar and he gave us a quick rundown of the town and said it's not as dangerous as the guidebooks suggest. The next day we went exploring and booked ...

... system dies, it will be because it is being asphyxiated by the bureaucracy that it so loves and that rigidity prevents most of the children in the system from answering a simple question that requires their opinion and not a regurgitation of information. The question that I can NEVER get my students to answer satisfactorily is "What did you like about the story?" or "What didn't you like about the story?" It requires their opinion. All I get are direct quotes ...

... built. However, when the school was supposed to be finished "just now", it still isn't completed, so the girls were shifted down to Grove (imagine my surprise). I was quite content to go to Friendship, but it turned out that WorldTeach was having great difficulty finding housing for the 2 Grove volunteers. In addition, the security person who talked to us spoke at length about how dangerous it was at Grove, and about how he would have to come personally and ...

... call....but the next morning he called, said be ready in an hour, picked us up, brought us to his plane at the airport, and we were off! Awesome. I got to sit right next to the pilot, and even got to try flying a little! It was just a little plane, which fit about 7. It took about 40 minutes to get to the place, which was on a ...

... the noise. Upon looking up, you can see these very same species flying free! That's something new. The most confusing part of the zoo was the monkey cage. They were cute and upon looking into their cage I noticed something wrong. Most of the monkeys were congregating by the top of the cage....passing food to other monkeys. See the pictures and you will see what the problem was.

... went to a black-water creek with some of my friends and posted a couple pictures. It was really gorgeous there and a lot of fun. Along with the refreshing creek to swim in, there were also a sand volleyball courts, hiking trails, lots of benops to hang out under, ping-pong tables, etc. Definitely a nice, relaxing day away from school :-)
