Oh, how intensely human it is that I am immersed in some of the most spectacular examples of wild and true nature that exist on this planet and I am writing about my feelings!

I have forgotten to mention how, on many occasions over the last 3 weeks, it has struck me dumb how rivers just run

And run

And run.

Every time I walk or stop or sleep riverside, I admire her sheer persistence. And I wonder whether she gets tired.

I have also neglected to note how much I love the smell of the air at the entrance to my tent. Especially when it has just drizzled.

I have also failed to record my conversations with the forest’s nameless birds. And the wind in the tree leaves.

P.S. although I am rained in today, I find myself finding my groove (!)
