The ride today was 129 kms but none of the days actually seem to be getting easier. Tim is complaining of ulcers in his mouth, I've developed cold sores, Darren has his head cold and now Barry is having trouble with his knee - and this is not even the first week!
Although all this may be making life a little less than ideal, we are all still safe and sound. By the sound of things this has been a feat as some of the trucks today didn't really appreciate the effort we are putting into this trip, with some fairly terse words directed at our party. A little leniency please: we are going as fast and as safely as we can.
Robin has provided the showers for riders which was very much appreciated. Paul went to work on his speciality - wood getting, towing in a dead log from somewhere out the back of the camp. Robert is orating a story ( not sure about what as I left to put a pot on for tea) but I'm sure it is highly entertaining as was his harmonica playing last night.
Paul has set up his second passion - his outback movie which I believe tonight's playing will be Red Dog and Maureen and Sally have the tea under control. What capable people we are travelling with and tomorrow night I will introduce you to all the crew as I now have all photos ( I hope) and will upload when I get to Kal.
The pot is now boiling so gotta go.
