The Long Weekend - Adventure Time...

Every once and a while we get a long weekend and when you live and work on a ship it is definitely worth taking advantage of the extra time off...

So what do you do on a long weekend?  
Grab a backpack and a mosquito net and some friends and go on an adventure!

Here is a funny video from the weekend :) 





Adventure Photographer: Credit for all these pics and photos must go to the talented Suzanne Scheumann 


Location: Somewhere near Kouilou river


Kouilou river is about an hour and a half north of Pointe Noire. 




Camping day 1:



Grocery shopping


Visiting the village next to the river


Don't mess with Jess...sugar cane can be a weapon...



Kouilou River


Looking out to where the river emptied into the sea:


Talking with people from the village just north of the river and telling them about the ship


Through the jungle to find a new campsite...


There was lots of driftwood and bamboo, so Nick and Ryan built a huge fire:






Breakfast on Sunday!




The kids came and waved at us on our way back through the village the next day:




So that was the long weekend, lots of fun...

God is Good all the the time, including long weekends :)
