22 Feb

Easily the hardest day of trekking that we've ever done. Like in our lives. We hiked for eight hours straight with only a 10 minute break. My calves are killing me still, and we arrived over 2 hours ago. Technically, it wasn't as difficult as day 2 -- not much mud or sapling issues. But it was longer and had more of a trudge factor.

No longer are the scattered small ruins novel and exciting. No longer are there large lost cities to explore. It's just a hard days slog through a neverending jungle with nothing of interest except getting to the end. And there's not much else of say.

A shower will be nice, but I'm most looking forward to a flat bed. As a stomach-sleeper, there's not much comfort to be found in a hammock. This is the worst sleeping of my life.

Today, this is just like summer camp: heat, humidity, damp canvas, bugs, woods. Just like summer camp, but without the fun.

Meals:

• B - eggs, beans, tortillas
• L - bread, maple syrup, eggs, beans
• D - meat stew, rice, cucumbers, pineapple

Hiking: 21 miles, 8 hours
