Yeah, I've touched grass; it was icky. There was dirt, and bugs, and pollen, and bacteria, and the sun was too hot, and the air was too humid, and I was feeling itchy, sore, achy, and tired the WHOLE TIME - there's only ONE letter of difference between "Grass" and "Gross" and I NO LONGER THINK THAT'S PURELY COINCIDENTAL.

Hot is a slight understatement lol. It was 30°+ in the shadows everyday, I think there were 3 occassions through the 8 days when the sun was blocked by clouds (for 3 hours max) and I spent the entire trip covered in sunburns. I probably drank 8+ litres of water a day.
