20 August 2010-Up today to a bright, sunny, windless day with a temperature of 4.3C (40F) and hit the road well-rugged up. 438 Kms to Adelaide, mostly through fine conditions, but interspersed with occasional short bursts of rain, including one little 45-50 second microburst with horizontal rain, hail, and wind blasts sufficient to reposition the tank bag to the side of the motorbike...twice. My companion thought it all hilarious - the rugging up, the hot tea every two hours, and the Adelaide traffic, not to mention the periodic ending of the South Australia drought. Really. I found it challenging - she found it funny! We are staying with Sue's Auntie Joy, who is a lovely and delightful lady, and tomorrow will catch up with Auntie Winn, and with cousins Sue hasn't seen for decades. We will be here three days, and I doubt if there will be much to report on. Clothes washing will probably not find much fascination for many, so will turn the microphone off till Monday.
