The second week in the Amazon rainforest started in a high spirited manner with the plucky EMs battling it out with the local students of the Yachana Technical College over the river, in a good old fashioned game of footie! Suffice to say (despite from pre-match posturing and seeming height advantage), combating the searing heat and humidity and negotiating the slight quagmire of a pitch, as one EM put it they "were always struggling against younger, fitter and let's face it, more skilled opposition!" The score was a respectable 2-1 defeat, but a fantastic time was had by all.
