Kakepuku, Diary entry, Day 3

Today everyone got up at dawn, but only about 10 minutes after we got up we heard a loud warhorn sound coming from the top of the mountain. We packed up, had some breakfast and went off in search of the sound. After a while the mountain started to get really steep, so steep that we had to start clinging to plants to climb up. Soon we came to a slight clearing and at that moment a loud plane flew over us. We shouted and waved about, trying to get it's attention, but it was of no use, the plane just flew on. Then we saw a track that looked like a short cut, but we also noticed a good clearing slightly further up the mountain. It took a few minutes to decide, but in the end we chose to climb up to the clearing. When we were there we found that it was an animal track, and we settled camp slightly off the track. Our tent was made by draping Oliver's blanket over a tree branch. In 10 minutes we were woken up by a loud rustling and grunting noise coming from outside the tent. Suddenly a wild boar came rampaging through our tent. Luckily no one got hurt, but the boar had taken off with Oliver's blanket. If you're wondering what we did, we just slept outside - it didn't rain.
