One night, as we sat around the campfire, we suddenly noticed a scorpion scurrying around trying to find a warm spot for the night. Apparently the small pincers and long tail mean that this little one is very poisonous. I'm grateful that I never found one in my sleeping bag. I also wore my flipflops more often after this.

Our brilliant guide Johannes who managed to catch this yellow fish using only sweetcorn and a piece of wire.
