okay so im back from ubin. it was a nightmare. like living in hell....
We arrived a lil late around 630, without any supplies... so walked to the secluded camp site pitched up tents and left to the provision shops around 7. The two kids just kept asking questions along the way... whats this!?, why is it here?!, who stays here!? etc etc.

Bought some bread, water and tuna to last the night. there goes my dinner.... Spent 2 hours trying to teach the boys how to start a fire... in the end they only managed to learn how to burn leaves. i gave up and decided to let them enjoy themselves with the little flame! =)

thank goodness there was this hammock, so i just lay there and looked over the sea... tried to get some sleep, but couldnt so got up and decided to get a proper fire going around 1130... finished it by 12. and just sat around wondering what to do.... Boredom set in, started pacing around the campsite and stoning. Till i heard a damn boar snorting in the bushes... dived into the tent to hide lol. remained there till about 3 plus where i got up again. insects were biting me all over the place and i couldnt sleep! whats more, i stood up and walked over my specs *crunch* damn thing broke into two.

wanted to leave for home there and then.. irritating... talked on the phone till bout 530, where i decided im leaving the camp for home first. i couldnt wait till 10.... i craved civilization!!! So there i was armed with a torch light half blind without my specs and my bag. I only managed to walk out of the campsite and into the jungle when ahead of me the freaking boar jumped out of the bushes and into the path!!! i hightailed and ran back towards the camp. trapped on an island. Tried waiting for the sunrise but it was so cloudy... I felt like i was living in "lost"... in the end i woke my friend up and he accompanied me to the jetty! had to pay 24 dollars just to shuttle a boat back. but it was worth it....

I hate boars....
