First day of the trek today! We were picked up at 6 to head to kilometre 82 where the trek was to begin. We met the rest of our group on the bus, 3 Germans, 2 19 year old girls and a 38 year old man. They all seemed nice! After arriving at the start point we sorted out our things and were given our walking poles and duffle bag to put our things for the porters to carry in. The porters are amazing and each complete the trail carrying massive bags on their backs wi...
