1. Pickpockets everywhere - Marilyn had a child try and get in her pocket. Her hand not the whole child!
2. Guy eaten by an anaconda on a jungle trip - he disappeared while swimming with other members of the group
3. Hammock framework broke while 6 people where sleeping in a cave. Lots of bruises. We are doing this trip in a couple of weeks
4. Guys girlfriend was attacked by a grissly (but this was in Canada)
5. Dodgy areas - twice we have been told to get out of area because it isnt safe - in both cases we where only one block from a safe area
6. Forged dollar bills - we have a very nice fake 20 dollar bill we got at the airport
7. All the usual scams such as squirting gunge on you and then pretending to clean it off
8. Free drinks in the Hostal followed by pool in the new town until 3am- makes you ill
9. Altitude sickness - we just get breathless but some people are quite bad
10. Losing the opportunity to buy 2, 3 day tickets for the Ashes Test in Melbourne. A Engish guy wanted to sell them for $40 but a bloody Australian got in first - makes you sick You should have seen Marilyn´s face when she thought we where going to abandon SA for Australia
All in all we feel safer than wandering around Ipswich on a friday night
