After our first evening at the lodge (which was accompanied by very, very fine food), we set out for a trek with the guide, Mr Lei. He had hacked the trail through the jungle with his own bare hands (and a machete) and knew his way around. He could see insects which we could neither see nor hear - it was almost freaky. We had lunch down at "the lake" - it wasn't actually a lake, more of a swell in the river, but very nice all the same. Completely unspoilt - the only way to get there was by foot through the jungle. A lovely spot for a cooling midday swim. It was then on to the waterfall (after another couple of hours through the jungle) where we were met by the boat carrying beers. Wonderful.
When we got back to the lodge, we broke out the Chinese Chess for our second ever proper game. Annoyingly, it turns out that Eve is rather better at the game than me.
