The end is near...

Date: 24-02-2010 - 12-03-2010 Day 19-35: Queanbeyan, NSW

… of our stay at Dan’s. Some asked: “Where have you been?”

The last 3 weeks and 2 days, we have been staying near Canberra. Despite all the latest electronic gizmos and gadgets available at Dan’s, it was more work than play. Lukas worked hard on his manuscript, reading and coding some newspapers in the UK and Germany for the last 10 years. Sue fuelled and fattened us up with some good hearty homecooked meals (see pics ;p) for the road ahead. That said, we have not completely abandoned our bikes. Some days we would bike about 30km to the National Library or Canberra city centre and back to run our errands. It took time to deal with the logistics, namely our visa, flights, insurance etc.






As spontaneous as we often roll, changes in our plan are inevitable. Instead of having until July to pedal ourselves to Perth, we now have until end of May to fly off from Perth (or Sue gets deported!) Based on our planned route, it should take us about 50 days to cycle to Perth. And if Clea and Garrett made it in 30 days, we should be able to do it in almost twice the amount of time. Right?

RIGHT-O! !
Thank you for all for your support, kind words and for following us! The adventure shall resume in 3.5 days. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it will NOT be the same ‘wet’ farewell that Sydney gave us! Stay tuned.. ;=)


Next destination: Yass, NSW
