No alarm again this morning, but still managed to wake up at 6am. Today I have a few things to do such as make my video from the last stage (link below) hand sew my pants as the stitching has come undone, shopping to resupply for the next leg, I have a massage booked & my sister is coming to take me out for an early dinner (yay).
It was a breakfast of bacon & eggs this morning, good change from cereal. I’ve spent the morning doing life admin getting everything ready for the following 6 days & feel I can probably just relax this afternoon! So good.
We met up with my sister & family at King Wahs for an all you can eat Chinese buffet. It was amazing food & company. It’s been really great spending time with the family & I’m going to miss them!
Walking back to the accommodation afterwards was difficult feeling that stuffed. But it’s almost a preload for the next 6 days.
The rest of the evening was spent finishing off my video & typing the rest of this blog, I am now ready for bed & alarm set for stupid o’clock ready to catch the ferry to Russel where we will do 30km of road walking!
