Another oversized arachnid

At this point of the walk we made a slight error in judgement and decided that rather than walk back along the path we had come from, we would walk back along one of the pathways through the middle of the forest area of the national park, it was only another few kilometres… Later that night we arrived tired, weak, hungry and weary back at the hotel (ok – I’m exaggerating, it was actually about 5pm!). It was a really nice walk and we saw several extremely monstrous spiders just sitting in a web at head height a few centimetres from where we were walking, which is always a bonus. Unfortunately though, the last few kilometres had broke us and we got back to the hotel with aching feet and empty stomachs after not having had the appropriate footwear or food and drink rations for an 8km hike in the sun!
