First day fully away from support. 2.12.15. 62km, 316m climb.

A new skill. Pack everything onto the bike.

Veg, all new to us.

Great light house

Real fishing, for real fish.

Kids just want to have fun

Missing our regular snack stops with the team, now being self-sufficient and all that (didn’t manage to find lunch – made do with a bag of cashew nuts).  Proudly purchased our first king coconuts to drink – Linda ended up with severe indigestion.  Maybe there is some skill to be had in selecting the ripe ones.  Map reading proving a little tricky as page doesn’t match road – oh well.  Found ourselves up a very dirty track with lots of construction traffic trying to mow us down.  Decided probably safer to stay on main road tackling the buses.

After a bit of hit and miss, found a clean little hotel on beachfront.  We’re not too fussy, trying to keep to a budget, hot water and air con a treat, beer a must. It’s all good.
