Awoke really wanting a shower!!! But with no fresh water and even being out of drinking water, now using Rod and Angie's, couldn't possibly use it for showering even though they said to. Anyway had to get over that and instead had breaky. Angie and l then placed out an exercise circuit using a camp oven lid at one station and a small step at the other. We had three corners marked out: 1) holding camp oven lid whilst doing sit ups, 2) step ups on step or squats a...

Today was another fantastic day!! I know it sounds corny, but it is just getting better each day and nothing is ever the same!

It must have been leaking for a whil...

Angie and Rod were going as well so we all got up early and headed to Seisha to catch the ferry. We were all excited and hopeful that this would be a great experience and learn about the TI culture. The ferry ride over took around 1hr 20mins and was great to have some wind, although the sun h...
