Day Six

Saturday, October 21, 2017

Today we spent the day at the to the Kumbuk River Resort again.
We woke up a little earlier to go bird watching and try and see some Peacocks then after that we took a swim in the river we headed off at 2:30 for Then that night we stayed at the resort and had BBQ for dinner. Overall it was a very chill day. 

Bird Watching - Natural Environment: At the Kumbuk River resort, there are many trails that cover the large resort area. The five of us took a hike through one of the trails and enjoyed the beautiful views of the day. We brought our binoculars so we could try and see as much wild life as possible. We went out before the sun rose because our guide told us we were the most likely to see peacocks early in the morning. We watched as the sun rose through the trees and we were all extremely excited to see a large family of peacocks right in front of us. We didn't need any binoculars to see them and they were not scared of us. There were three really cute babies in the mothers nests who made loud chirping noises. After a while we decided to continue on to see what other cool animals we could find. There were some more pretty birds but no other significant animals. We ate lunch by a small river and were about to go in for a dip until we realized there were leaches in the river so we were all happy no one had stepped into there.

Weather: The weather was perfect, it was about 80 degrees throughout the entire day, a little more humid than we expected but made for a relaxing temperature while bird watching. There were also some clouds covering us from the sun, releasing us from the stress of having to layer ourselves with sunblock.

Hotel: Elephant Villa, there is just something about sleeping in an elephant that makes you feel well-rested.
