So, the day of our Pahang adventure has arrived and it's time to head north into Malaysia and answer the call of the three Olympian Gods!!

320 intrepid students and 24 excited teachers left Temasek Secondary School at 7.30 this morning.





The convoy headed west out of Singapore and had a very smooth border crossing into Malaysia, transferring onto the ready and waiting buses. The convoy then continued on to lunch at the VIP Hotel where we gorged on a tasty buffet.


After lunch friends said their final goodbye to each other and climbed back aboard their own buses departing to their separate locations.

Hermes, Apollo and Athena were happy to observe all the groups arrive in good time and begin setting up their various camp sites and tent villages.
















The Apollo crew are really well, adapting to their 'cavernous' new home. They were last seen this evening with their bellies full of chicken curry and settling down for the night ready for tomorrows hectic schedule of rock climbing, caving and jungle trekking.




The Stronger troop were also on fine form having set up camp on the banks of the River Pahang and settling down to a tasty dinner of chicken and rice. As we moved through the camp this evening talk was rife of the adventures that lay ahead of them as they left true civilisation early tomorrow morning and boat down the river to set up camp deep within the jungle.



Lastly I am pleased to report that the Hermes horde are also on cracking form having set up their respective camps and eaten a heartily.








Although a light rain had begun to shower the campers sleeping on the bank of the River it had no impact on dampening their spirit ready for their 52km bicycle challenge tomorrow.
