The jungle adventure begins tomorrow afternoon. As soon as that clock hits 11:45am, nine anxious teachers will be piling into taxis on their way to Jakarta to catch a plane that leaves at 5:55pm for Medan on the island of Sumatra. We will then all pile into one...yes one...van and head four hours up the mountain to The Jungle Inn. The next morning we will eat breakfast before we go watch our distant relatives chow down on their breakfast at the Orangutan Reserve. After feeding, we will embark on a six...yes six...hour "jungle trek" in hopes of seeing more of our distant relatives. You may think the adventure ends there, but it most certainly does not! At the end of our "trek" we will be white water rafting down the river back to the orangutan reserve. After one more night at The Jungle Inn, we will head back to Medan, but not without stopping at the crocodile farm first:) Saturday night we will stay at a hotel and head back to Jakarta on Sunday morning. That is the itinerary, and you may be asking yourself "why in the world is Molly Evans going on a trip like this?" I have been asking myself that same question...and the answer is because Indonesia has turned me into a risk taker, and I live with an adventurous roommate who is very persuasive:) Plus, I am an Evans and adventure...or disaster in some cases... is inevitable on any vacation, so why not take a chance in the jungle?
I hope to return on Sunday with amazing pictures and tons of hilarious stories. Please be praying for safety and health for all of us who are going:)
