The three doctors, and two of the captains went out in a 4x4 truck yesterday to put on a medical clinic in a quite remote area. The road was rumored to be out but 'what could go wrong!' The squalls are continuous so every hour or so warm rain comes down to keep everyone cool. The road though gets muddier and muddier. The roads are steep up and down, and carved into the sides of the fertile hills.
As we were sliding down the roads and and looking off the cliff everyone started getting less and less comfortable. After getting quite stuck, and only getting out after putting branches and leaves in front of all the tires, and having everyone push, we started evaluating the 'going back home option'.
Ultimately we gave up and managed to find a local who could guide us if we took our boat. So off we went with Lil' Explorers, 5 adults, a guide and 8 children. It is always an adventure here!
