Update 2nd July: All trekkers spent the night as planned at Russell's family block in Kokoda and moved out this morning around 6:30 and headed to Isurava Village.

Tonight I received a message by two way radio that all treks as planned had reached their destination and that everyone did just great today.

they will give another update from Alola tomorrow morning after they stop at Isurava Monument area and head off to the next village.

I asked about Shaun Bourke the young 16 year old carrying his own pack as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. Arnold Jinga their guide remarked, his pack is heavier than ours! but he has done really well today.
