Today I woke up at 5 am to get ready for our hike with Wilfred. We all piled up in the truck and headed to Mount Mojito also know as "The Dark Place" by the local Mozambicans. It's said this is where the witch doctors come for their powers. I local named Lopez lead us on the "trail".... not a trail at all. He basically whacked away with a machete and created a path for us up the entire way up the mountain. We had grass at least 7 feet high on all sides of us. With lots of stops we finally made it to the top of the mountain which was breath taking. We all just really took in that moment, it was really special. Going down the mountain was the hardest part actually. Me, Craig, and Lilly tripped and fell like every 5 minutes. I think we were just so tired and delirious it was actually pretty funny. We finally made it down to the mountain and let me tell you I was so excited to see our vehicle for our ride home and chug a bottle of water!
The total hike was about 6 miles and I was completely covered in dirt and sweat. The only thing I wanted was to shower when I got home. Well.... showed up to the hotel to find out all their water was out.... don't judge, but desperate times call for desperate measures. We decided as a group we would get into our sketch hotel pool as an alternative. Apparently we are the first group to ever get in the pool. After our little pool adventure we all ate dinner and then went to bed super early tonight (literally 8:30 lol).
