Home and Hosed
Sat, Oct 23 2010 04:12
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.

All the stars aligned today and we have made it from the ocean to Wewak in one day. About to have a beer and a steak to celebrate.

Stocked up on food at Ambunti which should last us until the finish. A few bum and skin issues from paddling all day. Both skinny.
