TG #25 – Sleep in a Hammock

This one was easy… we had no furniture when we got to Sand Creek, so I had to sleep in my hammock. A bed arrived on the second day, but I’ve yet to sleep in it… I like my hammock!

We’ve Made it to Sand Creek… Finally!

Harry and I have made it to Sand Creek eventually! We flew from Georgetown to Lethem on Friday but didn’t manage the second half of the journey – Lethem to Sand Creek – until Tuesday. Our delay was spent in the Region 9 Guest House doing not much other than exploring Lethem, relaxing in hammocks and playing cards. After 2 and a half hours in a 4×4, 40 minutes by boat and 5 on a rather uncomfortable motorbike…. we’re here!

Stuck in Barbados!

Quick update on a dying battery: been in Barbados for 7 hours now and likely will be for at least a few more. Was only meant to be 4 hours. Still, it’s an adventure! More to follow when we reach Guyana.
