Uphills and downhills.

First of all, I don't think I've introduced you to my partner of this adventure - Amanda. 

  We were put together as a team since we both applied as singles. We've never met each other before (except the pre-meeting in May) and I were, to be honest, a bit scared. (Not of her but to be paired with someone I've never met before in my life). Now that we've faced a handful of challenges, I feel we've become closer friends and couldn't ask for a better teammate. 

Since we got dropped off we've faced a lot of uphills. The ones on narrow roads on steep hills which never seems to end and the uphills where the locals act very weird and not helpful at all. Especially when you need water to survive the physical hills. We always try to be kind and understandable but when you're tired and just want to find a place to sleep for the night, nothing seems to be hopeful. 

The downhills, the easy parts of our now 5 days journey are that we've met a great couple of people, kind and tea-loving Brits whom wants to get to know us and understand what we're doing. They've helped us with not only find the best place to stay the night (mostly in their gardens with access to their toilet) but also give us tea, snacks, biscuits, dinner and hope for the upcoming days. 

Today it's the fifth day of our journey and soon we'll be leaving the countryside and find our selfs in a few bigger cities. 

Cheers!
