Last email. 17.5k tomorrow to Tazzarine, then a bus ride to hot showers and cold drinks at OZZ. Will look for a 'net cafe but dunno. Looking forward hugely to coming home.

Definition of surreal? We have the Paris Opera and Orchestra performing tonight in the bivvy.
Lot's of kids today running along both cheering & begging. Glad I was running as there rarely kept up. Flies have come out, must be close to a town.

Our front numbers were exchanged for clean ones last night, along with a small can of Pepsi - heaven - cold & sweet. Bartering happening all over as essentials run short. Loo paper at the top of the list, & lots of food available.

Solar charging worked well, the Olympus 795 has been faultless & despite 300 piccies & some vid, the battery only died this morning. MP3 and Garmin also good with charging on the run.

Thanks for emails from the iTa guys, PeteC, IanM, TimF & AK; all the CR troops - bloody marvellous; family & friends - superb.
