We stayed up late, got a few hours sleep had an Ice break coffee or a flat white and off to do it again. Missing meals or eating things that you would never eat back home it all seems crazy until you find that reptile you’ve been searching for......you see it and you think “is that a .......” and There it is in all its glory.
