Last night was probably the warmest. It seems after a deluge of rain, it always warms for a few days, each day getting hotter. Then another big rain. Chigger bites continue to plague all of us. They just keep going up your legs and they itch like crazy. We are all resigned to just dealing with them until we move back home again. Relaxing day today. Late breakfast, then in the headquarters to relax a bit before going to the local zoo and a lake.
We ate lunch down the street at a local restaurant. Very similar to the one we ate at last Saturday night. We found out that Chinese have come into the are to open restaurants. The food is similar. Fried Rice, french fries, coleslaw and chicken. We looked around at what other people had ordered, they all had the same! But everyone was full and lunch cost us around $2.60 a piece.
The zoo is pretty basic. Again, typical of 3rd world. Cages are too small, pretty dirty and smelly. Lots of wild big cats; all are pacing. Made us all uncomfortable. They did have an Amazon dolphin, interesting to see one up close. Lots of monkeys and birds, turtles and alligators.
The lake was huge, and fun to swim in. Really warm. Nice place to relax and eat ice cream.
Back to camp for our last night. Water has now risen to our tent, it is time to leave tomorrow!
