Friday of Children’s camp fell on Nina’s birthday! She had many renditions of ‘Happy Birthday’ in Spanish and English sung to her throughout the day. In the evening she had a cake presented to her from Juconi staff, which she was very surprised and touched to receive (she also had the pleasure of receiving cake smeared across her face – A south American tradition done to people on their birthday. Very strange for us British folk!)
Later we both received another surprise in our tent. Feeing something furry against our hand, we soon discovered to be our 6 legged and hairy friend that had snuck into a hole in the tent whilst we were sleeping!
So, this is nothing like your average house spider from the UK! It measured just under the size of a hand, hairy with huge pincers! We have tried to find out what type of spider it is but all we know is that the security guards of the camp have since said that it is definitely poisonous!
