Up at 730, set off 830 on ferry, then went on a crazy pickup truck to the start of a 2.5 hour hiking trail to Crocodile Lake. Amazing rain forests, and soooo remote. No one else on the trail. Monkeys, lizards, wierd spikes insects, leeches, snakes snails, pigs, spiders, birds. Damp undergrowth, and loads of mossies. Saw the huge tree that we missed out on yesterday - very impressive. 1.75 hr until lake.
Met Romano a young Frenchman who was just travelling and ideally looking for a volunteer position somewhere in the park - he must be on an amazing journey. Only wanted to roam, 20 years old. Saw 4 crocs! Stayed until 2pm.
Got back to road at 345. Romano turned up, and we offered him a lift on the crazy ride back home with his bike.
Got back home and discovered some massive poisonous centipedes - the biggest in the world apparently! They were as long as my forearm! Lovely chicken dinner, and then we discovered more centipedes!
