    Trekkers walked off the track yesterday one day ahead of schedule and the majority partied through the night celebrating their successful trek.

    On the way down off the track they walked through the wild choko fields. And yes, even our porters need rest!

    At Isurava Memorial they would have had a service similar to the one seen here and flowers would have been laid:

    They would have then walked out into the Kokoda Station and finished under the archway put there by the Kokoda Memorial Foundation, Eric Winn and his team of volunteers: No doubt group photographs whould have been taken before moving down to Orohaven Kokoda Retreat.

    I heard from our staff that the two doctors on this trek went and visited patients in the Kokoda Hospital and attended to one woman who had a tree fall on her. According to our guide, it was indicated they saved her life as certain medication was recommended with a full report being prepared to the Popondetta Hospital as it seems she needs another operation.

    Well done to Trek 727 and to the doctors for taking the time to visit the hospital.

    In similar fashion to Trek 765 no doubt they spent the day relaxing around Orohaven Kokoda Retreat. Tomorrow morning they will be up bright and early for the drive down to Popondetta to catch their flight back into Port Moresby:

    I do not know if they ventured down to the creek on our property as we built a traditional win haus (shade house) so trekkers could take a dip and stay out of the sun with a few beers should they wish to do so.

    Last night when I phoned around midnight porters were singing and dancing and some trekkers had retired to bed and some others were at the bar area enjoying themselves.
