However luck was on our side as the chopper finally found its way down and landed, picked up John and as I type this he would be at the Pacific International Hospital having his checkup.

The last words from James, when he gets back can you make sure he is taken care of, naturally I answered yes! So James and Lachlan have now started to pay catch up to others members in their trek.

Last night the other trekkers spent the night at a village called Menari. Harold Hauro a guide in his own right, took over the this group when Christopher remained behind to take care of John.

Harold was on the radio after he heard of the successful pick up and him and Christopher were then discussing the strategy for today. It was decided Harold move on to Efogi the half way point and they will try and reach there later this afternoon. Failing that they will stop at Menari for the night.

I think it must be Amy as it was mentioned a female was experiencing knee problems late in the day but apart from that, all is well.

They are very good at Pacific International so no doubt will do several tests on him today.
