An amazing experience, overall!

This whole "research expedition" idea was a new experience for me. I did not know what to expect, at first. I wondered whether the food or the accommodations would be good, but, more importantly, I wondered whether I would enjoy the activities. All I can say is, definitely. The things I did, saw and experienced were unique, and a first, for me. All in all, even the things I enjoyed less (waking up early, having dinner really early, being tired most of the time, ect) did absolutely nothing to extinguish my enthusiasm. Every single day, for two weeks, I woke up ready to face whatever that day's program had to offer. Chameleon or jackal night surveys? Scuba diving? Bird watching? Lectures? Lentil soup with 30°C outside? Sure, why not! I did not care about all these things, because I knew that, by the end of the day, I would be going to bed satisfied, and full of new knowledge.
This expedition left such a positive impression that I did not hesitate for one second when signing up to next summer's expedition: Ecuador & Galapagos 2017. I have high hopes for this one, and I'm sure I'll not be let down.
