Vanderpants Oz Tour

Well today was a rest day and i think tomorrow will be too unfortunately. The hamstring is giving me grief and i have a whole year so slowly slowly at the beginning me thinks – it’s a long journey and me old bones aren’t use to lugging this all so far each day. That’s totally fine because (convinces self) if i do it smart – i’ll do it right – i remember in Europe i had the same thing at the beginning – oh how we don’t learn and our mind is stronger than the body haha. That’s ok – i’ll make the most of it. i wandered the whole city and had fun. I did have a thought because i know you peeps love my thoughts hahaha – her we go – i think i seen somewhere but forgot – I keep thinking one of these galahs are going to speak when they are in the air and say ‘hello cocky’ – …….imagine the first person who ever heard a cocky or galah whatever speak a word for the first ever time – you would think you were going crazy right hahaha. Anyway i wandered the city and enjoyed the weather and enjoyed coffee and a beer then another coffee and another beer – i’m just gearing up you know – easing into it hahaha. A few convos were had in the caravan park and I helped an old guy set his bike up as he was struggling. it was one of those $100 jobs and he was trying to get going at 75 again. I had all the tolls so set his seat height right and done his gears etc. We exchanged stories and his was awesome. he had cycled 50,000km’s in a couple years when he was young and was also a bike tourer back in the day. i also visited the museum when i got a surprise text message from my sister and it was my bro in law standing next to my tent – i had to double take hahaha they were on route to another destination and ‘stopped by’. We enjoyed a good convo and another beer and coffee (at the same time) and an eclair haha and that was awesome because I got to say another goodbye (another bloody goodbye hehehe). Thanks for stopping by Fam that made my day

I tinkered with my bike a little more and organised my stash better and threw out some unwanted items and then reheated my dins from last night and now i’m sitting with this view and i am not complaining to be honest

Until tomorrow peeps
