What a day!
During our 1hr. time of solitude as we walked, this morning, I felt like a little kid & and made up a song to the creator, wrote it on this piece of bark as I went...
and recorded it as I walked...
It's been amazing seeing about 5 different strands that have been pulled together, to the point where it looks like we might make it to North Point by Wednesday sometime. Grego stumbled on a Hutterite/Anna-baptist community last night (thinking they were a Caravan Park), who took us in & have transported much weight from our packs for us today to Stanley, and sent us off this morning with a prayer after they gave us breakfast (and a cut lunch).
On top of that however was the freak co-incident of low tide coming on while we walked the last 10 or 15 km, which meant we could walk to Stanley along the beach, with our feet in the cool waves. Do a river crossing, holding our bags above our heads at Black River, ... etc,
and cut of probably 2-5km.
(for those of you who pray: Pls keep praying for God's work in Grego and his ol' mate who is walking with him - me.).
As we walk down the beach towards Stanley. You can see the "Nut" (extinct volcanic plug) at Stanley on the right (above the sea horizon, about an eighth of the picture in from the right edge). That's where we got to on this day.
When we got there we splurged & booked in to a Budget Cabin, as a celebration, to have a shower. a kitchen, somewhere to ask our friends into, & somewhere to charge our phones...
