Christmas surprise!

As I reached my finish point, the town Yacka, I saw that all shops were
closed down.
- A bit of a problem as I have to buy supplies for tomorrows stage where
up to 40c is expected!

But what looked to be a problem turned out to be the opposite:
By Mick & Francis I was invited to dinner - no small thing as Mick is the
towns Father Christmas this year :-)

And later I was guest at a "Christmas Tea" at another family.

The lawn-bowling club filled my water bottles :-)

THANKS!!

16. December tip:
Timing.
It is a good idea to build your training progress around the main goals of
the season; but equally important that you allow the body & mind to rest a
bit in the off-season !


By the way mobile phone signal is limited here, so the next reports will
be delayed!
