Don't you just love it Sarah - In other parts of the world it's lions and bears and here it's slugs and mice eating our food overnight. Ha ha! Another fantastic vlog. Ah, mud glorious mud but not as glorious as N.Z mud. Still, you waded through and made it to camp in the Swan. Nice! Well, good going. Mark
