April Tenth: On the effects of central blindness on explorers.


What's up, my ninjas?

So, yeah, I was off the radar for a few days, apologies. I *did* relay a message through the camp radio to another radio operator, to a worker in Calabar to post a "Greg is still alive" message on my FB wall, in fact it was part of my conditions for staying later. But you know how it is: Some people are arseholes.

With no further bitching...

"Got that bitch a gift-wrapped motorcycle tyre. Bitches love gift-wrapped motorcycle tyres."



March 30th


This one's for Chris.


March 31st (Apparently there are 31 days in March. Who knew?)


Other interesting things in Tinapa: This film studios pretending to be Jurassic Park and this packed shopping mall.







April 1st


Things you very often see while driving in Nigeria: Evidence of machete attacks, scrap being used as cars and art being used as trucks.


April 2nd


All of these were shot either from my cabin or from the camp kitchen. Including that 45kg adult male drill monkey. Epic, eh?



April 3rd


Bugs! Whooooooo! (The last one is for Guen, she's got a bit of a thing about weevils)



April 4th


The mountain, me on the mountain and the rock.




Some butterflies I saw on the way home yesterday.


April 5th


Got stitched up and then went to find bugs to make me feel better. I checked out their tree-top walkway. I also took the doctor and the manager on a moth hunt. We found an ant and a millipede.

                                     (Those tree ants are using a larva as a glue gun. Awesome)

April 6th



April 7th


Miracle berry. Awesome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaumatococcus_daniellii

And that guy was living in the puddle in the middle of a dead banana leaf.

April 8th


The jungle guides all have better phones than me. Also, here's the worlds least happy kite and the worlds most happy monkey.

April 9th



Some bugs for my bug peops. These are less beautiful, but more interesting. One is Cordyceps the other is a LAND CADDIS FLY THING!!!!

April 10th

So, yeah. I got it done:

BEST. ONE. YET!
That was a thoroughly enjoyable read, I admit I may have laughed at how tits up it all went in the end, one thing after another, the dart gun being broken got me.
The Super Cub foot stand welded bar, brilliant.

The pic of your possible brain also got me =]
Though sounds mega pianful.

I wish I had atahced a little camera to that head lamp...the things it would have seen!
