Day 1

A new expedition: a fresh start; the Colombian rainforest: many dangers and a whole host of opportunities.

I could not have asked for anything more from the first stage of our journey. My crew and I efficiently obtained enough supplies to last us the first week of our adventure. We pressed on through the last hours of light, proceeding on our journey. We came across many barricades of fern and ceiba overwhelming us with claustrophobia. I could see from the look on their faces that it troubled my crew but there was no chance that I would let it faze me.

We put up our tents at seven pm and feasted on a succulent lizard dinner roasted on the spit that my closest friend accompanying me on the expedition – Dr.Davies – set up. Day one was a large success.

I must finish now for if we are to reach new heights in the forthcoming days I must rest.
