Heat and Hospitality

Dawn came too early and we all awoke and packed our tents and camping equipment. How did it all go in this tiny space? Pack and repack to fit it in. Fill our water bottles. clean teeth, wash, set the route. Too early to leave for fear of hitting kangaroos?  7:30 depart. 

The roads straightened out after yesterday. As much as I like bends on a bike it was nice to have a bit of straight road today. 14c to start so the vents on our jackets were closed and we had the heated grips turned on. Not for long!

After a coffee stop we joined the A1/M1 motorway and it heated up to a stifling 37c. Jacket vents opened and much water consumed as we carried on south to the Mornington Peninsula where yet again the kindness of friends, Chris and Becky, was much appreciated as they offered us a night at their house and a feed.
