Jungle Hike

We drove down the eastern coast and hiked through the jungle. It was a bit more difficult than we thought. Our guide book said "paved," "easy to follow," and "pleasant." The trail was more like what I envision it would be like slogging through ankle-deep mud in Vietnam. Unmarked trails. Lush vegetation, in some areas hardly penetrable. A machete would have been useful. Slippery rocks and steep terrain. The two other sets of people we encountered in the four hours we were there also didn't complete the hike - too difficult! Beautiful and fun but not what we were expecting! I may write a letter to the person who wrote the guide-book....
