Peru, Day 7
A terrible thing happened yesterday. We were walking in the rainforest when Monty lost the map. While we were looking for it, he also dropped our sandwiches in the river. So now we’re completely lost, and we’ve got no food. Monty caught some insects last night and he gave me some for breakfast. They were horrible!

Перу, день 7
Вчера случилось нечто ужасное. Мы шли по тропическому лесу, когда Монти потерял карту. Пока мы искали её, он ещё и уронил наши бутерброды в реку. Теперь мы совсем заблудились, и у нас нет еды. Прошлой ночью Монти поймал несколько насекомых и дал мне немного на завтрак. Они были ужасны!
