Neither one of us slept well last night – if we do this again, thicker pads are in order. We hurt and ache in places we didn’t know existed – but it is a good feeling after a day of hard work and effort. The day is starting out overcast and cloudy, but it doesn’t stop us from heading out for a day of fishing and seeing some of the area. I get the first fish of the day – not huge, but it will eat well for dinner. Shortly afterwards, Lari gets a northern and it’s been decided that this one will eat well too. The clouds have broken up and we are greeted with blue skies. During dinner, it’s decided that instead of breaking camp in a couple of days and continuing onto Gebe, we’ll just stay here and do day trips.
