Day 137 and as I woke up I was amazed to see birght sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. This instantly made me feel like getting up, so I finished packing. Once up we met the others outside the kitchen where there were signs up saying it was closed. Apparently the night before a group of lads got really drunk and smashed up the place, even punching holes in the kitchen walls. Hence, we had bread and butter outside on the bench. Burns played a bit more baske...

Day 133 and after the mother of all bus journeys we arrived at Fingerboard Road (a pickup point for 1770) at 930am and got a shuttle to the town itself.

I had scratched myself so much I barely slept with mozzie and sand fly bites all over me!After checkout we put some washing on as all our clothes were dirty and sweat ridden.
