Wongyarra > Port Augusta (88km, 4h10)

Today, I want to reach Port Augusta and go to a Telstra shop to get a new SIM card. That way I will have more coverage along the way. (ps: I will have a new phone number too because it’s faster and easier doing this that way). Then, I will have to go shopping to get a week of food and plenty of water. I’m not worried about this next step. I just don’t want to spend too much money along the way because the food is going to be more expensive for sure! This is a cloudy day again and this morning was freezing! But the hot coffee helped!

Blyth > Wongyarra (108km, 5h10)

Here they are, Matt and his girlfriend (I forgot your name so you need to contact me guys and I will correct this mistake. Leave a comment down there, so I will have your email :-). Thinking more about that now, I should accept your offer and enjoy more time with you. You seem to have a pretty enjoyable life and lots of free time to discover the world! I like this :-) Anyway, you are going to contact me soon :-) Thanks again!

Adelaide > Blyth (120km, 5h20)

After two days of rest (almost ;-) spent with Joy & Graham I’m leaving Adelaide with sore shoulders from yesterday haha :-) It has been really nice really, Thank you to you two! I’ve now got plenty of energy to ride and I should be in Port Augusta in three days and a half max. Today the weather is ok and the wind, as said Graham, should be a tail one.

Adelaide, day off, kayaking with Joy and Graham

Joy and Graham have a group of friends with who they organise some kayaking two to three times per month. This place is well known for its dolphins. We have been really lucky today because we have seen maybe 8! Two of them jumped front of us! They were completely out of the water!

Adelaide, day off, visiting with Joy and Graham

I arrived yesterday in “Parafield Gardens” where I’ve met again Joy and Graham who invited me at there place for a day or two. Today we are out for visit around the non-touristy places of Adelaide. The rain is gone and it’s better like this. Enjoy the ride :-)

Step, Melbourne > Adelaide (1107km)

[wpgmza id=”51″]

This trip has been very good so far. Lots of headwinds but nearly no rain which is the worse.

Strathalbyn area > Adelaide (74km, 4h30)

Today I will achieve another goal, Adelaide! But I don’t know why, everytime I approach or leave a big city the rain comes up. When I left Sydney it rained. When I arrived in Melbourne, it rained. And today is one of the worse day. I had to stop because my jacket did not protected me anymore and I was cold! But Graham and Joy are waiting for me and I must get some stuff from the post office and a bicycle shop. Tomorrow is Anzac day and none of these shops will be open so I must make it today.
