Day 10 Rain Forest/Floating Docks










On Day 10 of our trip the group woke up early and caught a boat ride to the very rustic floating docks. We didn't know quite what to expect on the way to the floating docks, but when we arrived we were quite surprised to see where we would be spending the next two nights. The docks had very small 2 person huts lining them that were made from bamboo and palm leaves and each of them contained one outlet that worked for about 6 hours each night because it ran from a generator. Even though the living accommodations put the group a little bit out of their comfort zone, the area where they were located was quite a spectacle. The water was extremely clear and the rain forest surrounded them on every side. After the group got settled we went swimming and played a local bamboo balancing game. Each member of the group attempted to walk across a 25 feet bamboo rod from the docks to a kayak that was strategically placed in the middle of the water, only one person succeeded (Ashley Hoffman). After spending the day swimming we watched the sunset and went to sleep.
