Greg our guide has been working for Kokoda Spirit for many years, is ex military and does around 8 Treks per year so we are in good hands.
We are all now packed and about to get a great nights sleep in our huge big comfy beds at this Motel. Wow things have advanced in PNG from 10 years ago. It will be interesting to see if things have changed much along the Track as well.
That's it for today. I will blog everyday but may not be able to post it until we return if there is no service.
Greg told us we all need to be checked out, had breakfast and be ready to leave at 7.15 am in the morning.
We are going to the Cemetery and then onto Owers Corner to meet our porters and start the trek. Tomorrow they ease us into it and we will only be walking a couple of hours.

After Greg left, we all took our big backpacks and went to our rooms to transfer everything from our suitcases into these backpacks that our porters carry.
We all struggled to fit everything in but hopefully as we eat our way through the snacks we have bought the packs will get lighter!

We all then met at The Green House, a restaurant within our accommodation for dinner. It was a delicious meal but everyone was getting weary. It's been a long day!

Excited to be doing this Trek with my son Ben, my sister and nephew and some very dear friends.
Let the adventure begin!
