#70

After some painting work after breakfast I walked down to the river with Daniella, one of the American girls who was also volunteering. The animal centre is surrounded by really cool jungle trails and this one would have been really nice had there not been hundreds of ants everywhere. Since we were wearing sandals we managed to get bitten more than once and ended up running back to the volunteer house to try and get them off of us.

Our ant nightmare continued later when Irene recruited us for cage cleaning and (stupidly still wearing sandals) we had to sweep away leftover fruit covered in massive ants.

That night was the last night for a couple of volunteers so Yvan came back from town with rum (but none of the yoghurt or fruit we had asked for) so we could have a wee party in the volunteer house that evening.
