We got up and grabbed a quick breakfast before the bus came to pick us up. It was a tourist bus so we met a few people before having a nap. We stopped a few times for food and toilet breaks which also included some beer stops.

On the bus we made some friends which made the trip go quicker. The views along the way were amazing. We drove through jungle with mountains all around us and little farming villages dotted around. It was like nothing I have seen before with the mountains ascending rapidly and being covered by jungle vegetation with the odd rock face sticking out.

We eventually arrived in Lanquin where our group split up and all went to their own shuttles to different hostels. We headed to El Portal which is right at the pools. This involved standing on the back of a bakkie in a cage and being thrown around as we bounced along the windy road.

At the hostel we got to know some more guests and enjoyed some dinner and drinks with them before dancing a little and getting another relatively early night.
