After my two days of day trips I had a veg day and hung out
around the pool and did a bunch of reading.
I met some other travelers with intrepid as their tour started on the
Saturday and mine started on the Sunday.
Sunday was another lazy day of
hanging out and reading and relaxing.

Meeting the Roommate
My roomie ended up showing up and finding me reading by the
pool. I had checked with the desk the
prior day and they said I did not have someone coming but I guess they maybe
didn't understand me? Anyways, the desk
person pointed me out to her as she had already been up to the room and dropped
herself. She was thrilled to see the
Canadian flags on my bag. As we had
nothing to do we just hung out and got to know each other.
Meeting Everyone
We had a group meeting scheduled for 6 pm where we met our
guides and the rest of the people on our tour.
There were three Canadians, 2 Americans, 3 Australians and 1 New
Zealander. The ages of our group ranged
from early 20's up to 70 years old. To
start the tour we had two guides as the one was having issues getting his
paperwork renewed so wasn't able to leave with us. He was getting us organized and introduced us
to the lady who would be taking us for the first little bit.
Getting to Know Each
Other
After our meeting, most of us went for supper together at
the restaurant. One of the ladies chose
not to as she had just come off another tour and they were all going for supper
before everyone headed off in different directions. It was relaxed and we were able to get to
know each other a little bit. Most of us
crashed early as we had a 6 am wake up coming!
The Wheels on the
Truck
6 am we were up and going with breakfast at 6:30. We were meeting the group around 7 to get the
truck loaded and take off. There were 24
seats on the truck but only ten of us actually sitting in the back as the chef
sat up front with the driver. This way
everyone had two seats to themselves which allowed us to stretch out and nap if
we wanted. Each seat also had a wall
charger which came in handy throughout the trip.
