Off to Abatha

Oh how the mighty fall. Today the group woke up not feeling so well on both ends of the poop scale. A chill morning in, a collective group nap, and a heartfelt goodbye to the school helped some of the team recover in time for our 2 hour afternoon bus ride to Lautoka. While there, the group separated into teams to exchange money, buy dinner, and buy food for the next few days on the trek. From Lautoka, the group rode in the back of some trucks to Abatha, a small town 1500 feet above sea level. The truck ride was on a very isolated and hectic dirt path. Sarina Jassy '18 noted some similarities to the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. Jula Harrington '18 reported sights of multiple horses chasing after her group's truck but JT Melbourn '18 claims he saw them first. The cabin we are staying in now is called Nase Lodge. Tomorrow the group looks forward to sleeping in, improved health, and some light treking. The group also wants to wish their dads a Happy Father's Day!
