I have heard from Dad.

Hi All,

At precisely 5:10 this morning the phone broke the longest sleep I have had in 8 months. My husband was going to look after the little one all night and look after her in the morning so that I could have a sleep in. Unfortunately no one had told Dad that.....

I can't tell you what dad's first words were because I was still half asleep.

He had come in from his "PB", a 56K walk. He was so chipper though I thought it was someone else. He had completed 40 and 44K's over the last 2 days. At this rate he will be finished in about 10 days. If he does he will have completed the walk in 28 days.

Tonight he is bedding down with 30 or 40 other Europeans in a dorm that has cost him not a cent. I have a feeling it is one room..... So much for the air conditioned rooms he has been staying in. I believe he's still not spoken English with anyone. It certainly was the longest conversation I have had with him.

I also vaguely remember him saying something about Hunting boar and fishing for salmon. He made a joke that he was hunting for his dinner(not sure it was a Joke).

All in all he sounds great. A little tired and he will probably stop over in Thailand for a new pair of feet (off the black market). As soon as he gets a chance he will send another blog but don't expect it for a few days.

Regards, Lou
