This ones for you Chris desendre

This morning was so lovely, waking up in a bed and knowing that it was our first rest day in 6 days. Well deserved! So we're 100 km in and still feeling good, apart from my massive blister. Nice.

Teri  and raa, the lovely ladies who let us stay in their outhouse took us fishing out at ship wrecks bay this morning. 

Fishing with the locals, sweet!

Thinking about all his failed fishing expeditions to date (with Chris) meant that Philly had extra determination to succeed and bring home dinner.

This one was for you Chris!

But alas, it was not to be. Poor Philly!

Fishless he was forced to have a tin of soup bought at the supermarket yesterday. Ha ha ha.

We're  all supplied and ready to hit the infamous herekino forest tomorrow.  This is another big stretch, 6 to 7 days to the other side of the coast and our next rest day in paihia. We're all looking forward to the change in terrain.

Speak to you all from the trail!
