Roasted Papayas For Pudding
Chapter 1 : The Journey
9 am: Today is the day I embark on the adventure of a lifetime! I am going with my friend on a trek in the Amazon. I will be away for a month, but I think everyone at home will survive without my saintly presence.
10:30 am: Have arrived at Gatwick airport with my friends: there's me, Mimi, Clare, Emily, Sophie and Molly. Once we had checked in, got through passport control, then got on the plane I was exhausted and there was still a 15 hour flight to go! Luckily, I am with Mimi and since she spent all night with her boyfriend Tom (no prizes for guessing what they were doing) she's exhausted, so she's probably going to sleep, listen to her iPod (I don't know what use that would be in the Amazon) and mope about missing Tom.
I don't think I'll be too bothered by her, all I need to worry about is Clare and Sophie behind me (constantly poking their heads through and chatting) and Molly and Emily in the front (Emily is prone to snore and Molly giggles at everything (especially the phrase 'mow down') So I'll have Emi snoring and Moll snorting!)
Midnight (English Time): Finally arrived. This is a teeny airport compared to Gatwick. It's so cute (It's made of wood and corrugated iron, ever so slightly scared)! Now we need to take a jeep for two hours to get to the camp. I can't wait to get to the camp!
2:21 am (Amazon time): We are having dinner now. Apparently we are going to this shack to have sandwiches.
2:33 am: Think have just had Iguana disguised as chicken (gulp). Hope the journey is not too hard.
4:37 am: Finally!!! We have arrived!!! I am sharing a tent with Mimi and Clare. I feel sorry for Sophie and Molly cause they are sharing with Emily the Snorer! Got to turn my torch off now because Mimi is getting annoyed. Will write more tomorrow. Mimi has just tried to pull the pen out of my hands, so will have to stop now. Bye!!!!!!!!!
