A Long Walk to Water (3rd last)

If lion country wasn't bad enough the next 2 stretches of land are going to be the most terrible things that they have ever experienced. They entered the wet land where the people from the other tribes helped a little, but they didn't really care about the people. The food was different from the food Salva ate. He had milk most of the time, but here they had sardines, he savored every little bit of it. It was one of the tastiest things he ever tasted because of the endless days of hunger and dehydration. Night fell and the locals went to bed under their netting, but Salvas group was vulnerable to the mosquitos, every second a new bite from a mosquito, there were thousands of them just flying around. It was a sleepless night, but the other part of the journey is not better. In the morning they hyad to get as much water as they could, Salva got a bottle but others didnt , so they dampened their shirts to get every last drop of moisture.

Second last part coming next week
