Fun in the Jungle

Another great outing at Chukka - this time at the EcoOutpost at Good Hope - Transfers from/to Iberostar were on good...Great time ziplining with Fizz and Lady Gaga...relaxing cruise and massage down the Martha Brae with Captain Morgan (first time someone did a handstand on his raft!) and a pleasant lounge around the silky smooth fresh pool water. Nice to see my girl Sabrena in the gift shop...

Terrible

we got followed back into the changing rooms by the young lad who was on our raft because he wanted a tip and also the driver that took us to the rafts because he was selling bracelets that he wasn’t supposed to be selling would never go again
