Thursday night I went to bed early- a bit miffed by the groups laziness. Friday- a beautiful walk!! About 20km up a mountain then down into a forested valley before another climb and descent. I was first and arrived in time for an ice cream before the shop shut for Shabbat! Met a man on a quad bike who showed me fruit you could eat off a tree. I set up camp and we had a new South African older couple join today for a week and a couple of people who were here ear...

Friday: I was up before 5 to make breakfast and lunch! Everyone wanted to leave early as it was going to be a hot day, so I had it all ready for 6 and then no one got up! But as I was ready I left at 6.30. It was about 25km today, a couple of climbs and a beautiful walk through forest!

I arrived about 11 to where the camp would be so continued for a couple of extra km to a shop where I treated myself for my birthday weekend- ice cream, strawberries, hummus, avocado, chocolate, etc. I walked back and still beat everyone and had to wait for the truck. A good...

But then I was chatting with a couple of nice people who cheered me up. Friday: a relatively short day: I walked with one of the Israeli girls, Daniela, whose actually pretty nice- she's my age, a hard worker and not really a sociable person either. We arrived at a kibbutz and went in to visit the...

Thursday: I continued walking and made it first to another natural spring, so I was able to jump in and cool down (and wash off the sweat) then lay in the sun relaxing before the others arrived with their bloody dogs kicking sand over me and shaking their wet fur over me and barking continuously. But a couple of them had their instruments so it was a nice spot to chill for a couple of hours. Then it was a relatively short walk to camp. We were sat chilling when a...
