I survived the gorilla trek

Hey guys! We are back in Kampala now, on the way to jinja. I survived the gorilla trek. Barely. It was about 2.5 hours in, just over an hour with the gorillas and about 2.5 hours out. Our big group was divided up into groups of three, so we were trekking in groups of 8. My group was great, I like everyone, but I was the weakest hiker. I thought I was going to die, I'm sure it was the hardest thing I've ever done. It was more scrambling through the jungle than hiking. Mud and vines wrapping around your ankles and tripping you up. But I made it. And the family of gorillas were amazing. It was really sad to leave. We visited the Nshongi group. On the way out, we were almost done, but then at the last minute we had to dive off the trail, scamper down the hill, and back up again ( and by that point I had had enough), but then we got to sneak back and see a jungle elephant on our path, which was really cool.

The past couple of days have been relaxing, went to an orphanage and got a massage.

It's almost time to get back on the bus, but we are supposed to have Internet at our next campsite, so I will try to post more soon.

Love you all, thank you for your notes. 2 weeks until I'm home!
