Building in the middle of the rainy season is a soggy affair. Even if the daily shower only lasts an hour, the rest of the day is still mud mud mud.

Hoping to finally dry out the inside of the structures after days of rain and plastering, we made a couple of campfires. Gypson and the guys wasted no time running to fetch diesel fuel and all manner of matter to throw on the fire.

As the flames grew higher and higher, the boys whooping and laughing, we began to question our judgement on this one - but everyone was having so much fun after such a terrifically long day, we couldn’t dream of stopping it. In the end we got a nice toasty room, much less soggy, said lots of ‘bon nuit!’ and wandered our way wearily home to bed.
