sepik river expedition

Home and Hosed

Well its taken a few days, but we're starting to feel vaguely human again. We got home on Monday and have since spent our time eating, sleeping, eating, unpacking gear and sleeping. We had an incredible time in PNG and were touched by the countless people who helped us unconditionally throughout our journey. So we'd just like to say a big THANK YOU to all those who helped us, big or small.
