Today we were supposed to hike 5 hours along the coast to our camp site. However when we checked in we were told that the trail was closed due to controlled burns in the area this weekend. So we drove up to the top of a hill and walked 12km to our campsite. It took us 2.5 hours including a snack break. We had lunch at camp and went hiking to find water. We went 30 minutes one direction and found a fantastic view but were still quite far from an unreliable water source. We walked back and then I swam while they walked along side me on the coast for another 20 minutes in the other direction to find that the water source that we thought was thee had been contaminated.we did find 2 nice people who had been camping since thursday who told us that there was actually a natural spring 5 minutes from our tent so they walked and I swam back to the camp. We got back in time to he water, change and cook dinner. We are eating much better on this trip compared to last one but we also only needed to carry supplies for 2 days. After a dinner of chicken curry we went to the beach to star gaze.
