Bushmaster...this brings me up to date...Sun.10.Dec.2006

I spent the 7th and 8th in the Namosi bush. Petero, Bosilio and I did a first descent down the Wainikovo river. This is it in a nutshell...

• Walking, scratch that, dragging our boats every fifteen minutes over gravel/boulders and down waterfalls.
• jumping from said waterfalls
• surfing boats
• being in the bush with no supplies except a couple of spears and a machete
• class IV water
• catching eels and prawns for our meals
• mosquito's, bits on lips, in nostrils and mouth. I kept waking up and having to pick mosquito's out of my nose, I kept inhaling them
• building a bamboo hut to sleep in
• getting a good soaking from the downpour
• mosquito's, mosquito's, mosquito's
• day two, waterfalls, canyon, falls, boulders...
• kasava, dalo, kasava, kasava, tinned beef, kasava
• not feeling sick anymore
• prawns for breakfast

now lets get on with the present tense....
