Friday
Mr. 3' Did not sleep any last night
as I am used to sleeping alone.
Was up at eight and went to the
stream for a wash and then I
had breakfast of salmon and bis-
cuit but it did not go very
well. The Chaplain had a great
display of orchids and at 9.30 we
started on the return trip to Rian.
I collected quite a few forms
on the first part of the trip
and Chaplain found a large white
orchid about 6 feet high.
It did not seem so long
this time before reaching the
river. I made a miscalculation
on a rock and landed in
the river and got quite wet.
We stopped 12.45 for lunch under
a big rock. Near the bamboo
bridge we took a trail that
led up along the hillside. I
was very tired when I got in.
Had some tea, a bath, dry clothes,
looked over some plants up
here, finished my journal
and then to bed. The Chaplain and I
rate the trip a great success.
