Koh Kong trek part 2

Yesterday we took on a big challenge and signed up for a 2 day and 1 night jungle trek. This was not accomplished without a large amount of strong arming on my part to convince Ngoc. In the end I told him he had no choice and stuck to my guns. I harnessed the strength of talking Candace into going white water rafting in Costa Rica, where I had to endured hours of her telling me how horrible of an idea it was only to end up loving it!

Well, I don't think Ngoc loved it, but he really held it together concidering what we endured. Leeches, super humid conditions, raw meat being cooked on the open fire that had been with us un-refrigerated the entire day, the threat of death by mosquito bites over night, or just simply being attacked by a wild boar.

In the end we had a great time and were extremely impressed with our guides who drove us everywhere and built our camp structure from only what the jungle offered. The only damage done was being covered in dust and a slight lack of sleep. For the experience, this was well worth it!

  1. I like the snake sticking his tongue out.

    I would need convincing for this too!
