It was a nice sleep in until just before 8am this morning! Today is about spending time with Antonia & resupplying & repacking for the next section.

We enjoyed breakfast & a coffee in the Airbnb this morning, I put on a load of washing & we went into town while the washing was on to get the few extra groceries I needed for the next week.

Just after midday we drove back down into town & went to a cafe for a coffee & a light lunch, a bacon buttie & chip buttie! Yum.

Antonia & our table identifier.

After returning we managed to sneak in a quick afternoon nap & it wasn’t long before it was dinner again. Tonight we are going for Indian.

This Indian restaurant in Geraldine is amazing, they have one of the best menus I’ve seen & they also have an extensive whiskey selection.

Dinner was amazing & we left the restaurant at 7pm, headed back to the accommodation & just chilled out for the evening. Back on the trail tomorrow morning. Probably won’t start walking until 11am but only have a 4 hour walk.

This will probably be the last time I see Antonia until I finish. I’m looking forward to getting this last 5/6 weeks done so I can go home. It hasn’t been easy being away this long but the end is near & it’s all for a great cause.
