 We had a relaxed start to the day in Esperance, knowing it would be a short-ride day as we needed some time with Internet access to complete the final arrangements for the shipping of the bikes to Bali and call the visa centre for our China Visas, plus we badly needed to update this blog and attempt to catch up on our progress reports.
Jude had booked us into a caravan park a few kms from the coast and about an hour west out of Esperance. We pulled into the Munglinup Roadhouse for coffees and something to eat and to buy some food for lunch and supper. Parked across the road was another travelling biker who came over to introduce himself. Bizarrely Rob had read about our travels and we sat down for a long chat and exchanged stories of the road. Rob is travelling from Broome in the far north of Australia and across to Sydney, visiting friends along the way. We said our good byes, very pleased that we had met a wonderful fellow biker and Black Dog Ride supporter and purchased some food and drink from the Roadhouse before heading down the track to the Munglinup Beach Caravan Park, another gem of a place. We only wished we could stay longer to enjoy the surroundings and everything it had to offer. Set in the bush with cabins, campsites, seating areas and fire spots we could see it would be a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings, although it was not to be as we have work to do. Linda and Lawrence caught up on their business emails and Facebook posts and Richard set about phoning the shipping agents and BMW dealer to make the final arrangements for crating and airfreighting the bikes to Bali the following week along with calls to the China Visa centre in Perth to check on application procedures. Documents were photographed and emailed accordingly. The plan is coming together. We enjoyed the cabin, its beds, showers and facilities and the time to catch up on much needed tasks. Onwards to Denmark tomorrow and a much anticipated meet up with the local Black Dog Ride group.
