Black Eyes

• Leeches
• Ghoulies and ghosties
• Managing to get sunburnt half way through the trip
• Being mistaken for an Australian. All the time.

Looking back, the most memorable and interesting parts of the trip were often the things that weren't that fun at the time! Though I really wouldn't have minded missing out on a close encounter with the leeches.
