Day 5 staying alive!

13km done today, which we are pretty proud of. Our feet have so many blisters and the last 3km was a killer for us. We set off from the reserve and followed a bush track we made really good timing. Out the other side I went to the first house I could see and asked for some water. It was this amazing earth home, made from recycled everything. They have a charitable trust called Earthskin. The guy who got us some water was only house sitting so I didn’t take any photos. Then off along the road until we found a spot to have some lunch. From then on the walking got harder. Rowan gave me some chocolate at one point which gave me a good boost. I have put some antiseptic on and bandaged up Rowan’s blisters, I hope they get better soon. Pip in Puhoi told me that a French lady was putting needles and thread through her blisters and leaving the thread in. So I have been doing that on any new blister I get as long as it hasn’t popped it appears to be doing the trick. We aim for a few more kms tomorrow to hit the Dome Cafe where a lovely sister of mine will take me in. I can’t wait for a hot shower these cold whore washes are okay but nothing like the real deal. We will need to stock up a few items too.
