Today we went 133 k's from Aileron Roadhouse to The Winter Sun Cabin and Caravan Park in the outskirts of Alice Springs. Again I am installed in the most wonderful little caravan cabin with all amenities to wish for. Invited "guests" for dinner tonight: Kirsten (a danish doctor living in Sweden) who has only been with us for 2 weeks is leaving and as I really like her we have arranged a little get-together in front of my place.
The riding was super tough today. Hardest day in Australia - so far. There was a hell of a headwind all morning - to an extent that I got a little headache from it. Happy to be in a peloton - it makes the troublesome riding so much easier. We do it so that everybody (6 in all) lead for 3 k's which means that we cover 18 k's when everybody has taken their turn - a super way to go when riding is boring and conditions not the best. I was really exhausted at the 75 k's lunch stop - but the peloton group made me continue - and the riding actually got easier with the wind going down and changing direction. And after reaching the highest point of Stewart Highway we had a long descent down to Alice Springs.. More than ready for 3 rest days - going to Uluru tomorrow and having a day here before we continue south towards Adelaide. We have done approx. 1600 k's in Australia and are half way to Adelaide. And I am still IFI (Australia)!
