Distance today (can´t remember the other two days since we last typed): 19km Total Distance remaining: 20.6km Sorry for the absence from the blog board - I know you have all been anxiously waiting with baited breath for our next entry, especially now that we are only one day from our goal!!

Distance hiked today: 33.4km Distance remaining: 201.6km First of all, happy mothers day!! Lots of love to Mary and Lynnie.
