As well as a book each, a dice game and toiletries which included but was not limited to sunscreen, icy-hot and toothbrushes.
At 11 am we took a two hour bus ride into the mountains and started our trek.

Day 1 of the trek included a steep and sunny 6mi/10km climb to Tikhedhungga where we showered, ate, relaxed and slept.





Ana complained only twice out loud.
