The Vaseline is very helpful in preventing blisters. You are more likely to get blisters if your feet are hot, wet or tired. I got this tip from a friend that did the whole “Camino de Santiago” which is a very famous walking way in Spain. I supposed that in an expedition we would have to walk a lot carrying a heavy bag. It helps when applying on the clean feet in the morning. I could choose any other item, but I think that once our main activity is walking and exploring, we have to do it as better as possible, and nothing can bother us more as some blisters. | The Vaseline is very helpful in preventing blisters.

Task 2 | |||
'''“Magnetic North Pole” - fictive student notes''' | |||
1st day | |||
We woke up early to take our train. From now on until the end of the expedition early hour is a normal hour to wake up. Although all my mates are sleeping I'm in a mood of writing. Near me - my best buddies for the entire expedition: my back pack and my camera. | |||
2nd day | |||
After a large journey of trains and planes we are finally closer. We all become even more enthusiastic about it. The next step – ship to the destination. | |||
3rd day | |||
The boat trip was quite “shaken”. First time most of us didn't sleep, but it was fun.We finally arrived. This landscape is absolutely stunning. Already got the idea that I won't get much sleep in this expedition, the sun is present everywhere. | |||
4th day | |||
All this is so new to me, but I feel like I've already been here. Seems difficult to recognise a magnetic North Pole in summer. It's cold, refreshing I would say, such as the landscape and the air. We have many tasks to accomplish, today was quite productive. | |||
5th day | |||
Exhausted! I'll get back tomorrow and explain it all. | |||
6th day | |||
Yesterday we had time for our own purpose and I made sure to “document” everything I saw. I forced myself to the limits. What I cannot express with words I empowered with pictures. Today I wish I would have seen a bear. Well not really, but everyone talks about this possibility that I feel intrigued. The local people seem normal and very nice with foreigners, but only a few English speaking. This makes it even more interesting. | |||
7th day | |||
New tasks and new places. Everything seems so clean and pure here. I don't eat as I would prefer to, but I never think about it here. Even though while in Weimar I thought I would miss the good food. We are too entertained with “exploring”. | |||
8th day | |||
I think this expedition is being an exit. Between the material we gained together and that is still there to be gained it seems a success to me. Can't wait for the Sauna today. We definitely deserve it. | |||
9th day | |||
We start to hear the word “back home” already and I only started to like all these. It was worth every penny, every task and every non slept hour. | |||
10th day | |||
On our way back, experimenting enthusiasm and sadness at the same time. We are all exhausted but happy and still can't get some sleep because all the excitement of the “north experiences” don't leave me alone. Choosing pictures in my head. | |||
11th day | |||
On the train closer to Weimar. I'll get some decent sleep in a couple of hours. I need to process all the information. This was hilarious! | |||
