Shortly after the boys entered the forest, Lydie and I left the village. Not to waste
the empty space in the truck, we loaded 7 locals and dropped them off en route. Once we
returned to the house, we changed our clothes again and set off to go hiking to a nearby
mountain. After we parked the truck, we hiked to the base of a waterfall and took a cold
shower. We then started to climb and eventually arrived to the top at 6:30 p.m. What a
view! I took a photo but with the poor light, it didn't turn out.

So Lydie and I returned to the house to get the flatbed truck. On the way we met six
vehicles all with different problems- no gas, a dead battery, a flat tire and so on. Lydie and
I helped where we could. As we were en route to meet Bruno in the flatbed, he passed us.
We doubled back and finally made it home in Koundara by10:15 p.m.
