Jungle trek

Boy am I exhausted!

Today I bussed up to the national park and ran all through the dense virgin jungle. It was amazing. I came out at one point onto this beautiful golden beach where the sea turtles lay there eggs at this time of year. I saw some sea turtles at the rescue centre and had a bit of a swim. As I was swimming in the deep water I saw something break the surface for a second right next to me. Naturally I lost my shit and went completely still. Although I had goggles the water was too sandy to see anything at all. Next thing something smooth and hard hit my leg. Just saying but I may have kicked a sea turtle.

I then bolted out of the water like a little girl before sunning myself on the rocks for an hour to the tune of 'sittin on the dock of the bay' by Ottis Redding.

I then trail ran 3km+ back through the hilly and humid jungle.

Fantastic. 

Oh yeah, I also saw some wild monkeys!
