Batoka Gorge

Hey hey!
Just got back to Jolly Boys after he Big trek in the gorge. Was hard work for everyone but most of us made it through to the end. After a valiant effort Miss Witherspoon went back to camp for two days and joined us for the last two days to finish the trek. We had a great time down in the gorge and even had a swim in the Zambezi river which was an experience. We had some great camp sites for the nights we were there which were mostly by the side of the river. It was an excellent place to wake up to. When passing though two villages we got swamped by loads of children which was fun and we managed to play with them for a few hours. The school we camped at was funny as it was the first sheltered place all trip and was a good change. The toilet there wasn't the nicest in the world. There was only a hole in the floor leading to a sewer below! It was a challenge in there haha. The project starts tomorrow and we are all looking forward to it!
Everyone is still in high spirits and we are all enjoing the trip
