In bed by 6.00pm last night. Photographed the full moon from the tent window.
Determined to miss the afternoon heat (it's been in the mid 30s for weeks now), got up at 3.00am today to prepare for a 5.00am get away.
The moon was under eclipse - a beautiful sight - in a clear, star studded sky. No time for photos, though, as we packed everything by torchlight.
Very unusual feeling, seeing only the beam of our bikes on the road and everything else in total pitch black.
We've been cycling on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert for some time now. Would explain the intense heat and parched, sandy soil.
Apart from a few long, gradual climbs, we flew along and reached Willare Bridge by 11.00am.
As we arrived, Doug and Alice approached with donations. A big thank you to both.
Took a donga for a night. These very small, basic and often prefabricated rooms have no luxuries like coffee and tea sachets, shampoo etc, but we're pleased to be sleeping in a bed tonight.
Some little critter has found its way into my clothes and I'm sporting some fiery looking, itchy bites. Luckily have cream and, if needed, antihistamine tablets in the first aid kit.
Great tips, many thanks for sharing. I have printed and will stick on the wall! I like this blog. Financial Advisors Perth
