Gotta Fly!
The day is rapidly passing and I have a fair distance to walk still. Well actually it isn't that far at all today: 26km. The reason I do not have far to walk, is that I pushed myself yesterday and achieved a new personal best walking record: 53km in 12.5 hours including rest stops. I slept by the water under a tree and was greeted often by the whistles and calls of drunken hooligans.
Still, even though I did not sleep for long, and I had walked far the previous day, I awoke this morning feeling refreshed and ready to continue!
A few thank yous are in order before I depart:
I mentioned Jon and Kathy at Gatt's Cafe in Ulladulla in a previous post; thank you again for the tea.
Helen from the Traveller's rest: thank you for decyphering my babbling after walking 50km and trying to say 'I would like a room with showering facilities'. It was a great first experience at staying in a backpacker's accomodation.
Chris from the Log Cabin service station: yeah I am sure I mentioned you before, but you really made my day by having a great chat and for providing me with shelter from the rain.
Kuba and Julia: German backpackers who I had a great chat to about life and travelling. Thanks for listening and sharing (there is a pic of them in the photo gallery).
Judith: Another German backpacker: thanks for listening to my tale and offering support. Read along and I think you will find the end shall be like the one I mentioned; it is also my favourite part to the story!
Jackie and Tony at the East Lynne Store: thanks for the tea and lentil and zucchini pie! The pie was that delicious that I forgot that I don't like zucchini!
Not sure if I will be able to have internet contact again before reaching Eden in 5-6 days. Funds are running low and I still have more than half the journey to walk.
Thank you peopple of the South Coast for your generous hospitality. I haven't been able to pen the tale that I had wished, due to the effort required to undertake this journey, however I have taken copious notes and shall endeavour to do my best to scribe it once the journey is complete.
Farewell for now!
