- Problems!

Since yesterday evening I have had a slight fewer, headache and loss of
appetite. Thus today?s stage was run with 10min. food and water breaks
every 5km.
- I look MUCH forward to having a crew again!!


A pleasant surprise was the Padthaway village with about 250people. It was
settled as far back as 1847 in a traditional Aboriginal area called
Tatiara - translated: "the good country"!

It now hosts relaxed wine yards - And the best and yet cheapest (!) tent
and caravan park I have experienced in Australia so far!!

Friendly hosts & excellent facilities for a tired (half-) world runner :-)


7. December tip:
- Never forget to learn from others no matter how much experience you have!

As you can see, I have quite a few things left to learn about "safe
running"..

PS: Phone calls :-) Could people that wish to call me please send a
txt/sms message first :-)
Then I can get ready to receive the call when on the road. Thanks :-)
