Puzzle 169.  KNIGHTS AND BARBARIANS

Five knights and five barbarians have to cross a river with only one boat that can carry at most three people.  It was noted that if the number of barbarians outnumbers the knights on either side of the river, the barbarians would kill the knights on that side.  Also, the number of barbarians should not exceed the number of knights on the boat or killings would occur.  How would all the five knights and the five barbarians cross the river.  What is the minimum number of boat trips needed for the crossing without any knights being killed.
