The first week was beyond anything we ever did. Ever. So what was to expected of the second week? Another venture into the unknown darkness of Australia. Well, it is not that dark here, that’s for sure but we never know where we gonna end up the one and only thing that is for sure is that we have to go where the wind comes from.
Every day. And he will not ever sleep so after a whopper of a 140km with straight headwind you feel like you just did Paris-Brest-Paris. Our hands burnt, tan lines sharp as you would do them with a ruler and haircuts from out of this world.
Rene and Kelle do their best to keep us up and, even when they would nothing rather do than to throw us to the sharks and start their well-deserved holiday. Cheers, guys only two more weeks to go! We love you right knack!
That desert thing is something else, and to be really honest, Andy, mate you were right, 52° in the sun is not exactly fun, even though the always trusty headwind makes an all day appearance.
Basically everybody is looking up now since we are not far from home, well only two weeks now. The hardest parts are still to come since the wind is picking up every meter we bite our way towards Melbourne on the upside it’s sunny until now.
As we go our phones work like a charm and the music we listen to let’s sometime even ignore the blower in front of us.
Rene is listening to: AC/DC, Fever Ray, Grinderman, Bjoerk
Lars/Kaleun is only listening to the wild around him
Artoo is listening to: Black Keys, Style Council, Rjd2, Baby Huey, The Bamboos
Andrea is listening to: Damien Rice, Kevin Devine, Blind Pilot, Lowly, The Get Up Kids
