Day Five

Today was a tough one for Mike. It was hot with a very strong head wind & to make things worse, the accommodation that was promised to him did not come to fruition. It's funny how things work out though. Had he stayed at the planned point of destination, then he would not have anywhere to sleep tomorrow night. As it turned out, he decided to leave that town & rode on to the next town (a further 35kms) and came across the Tintinara Motel & Caravan Park. This turned out to a blessing. The people who run this park were very accommodating. This has put him ahead of his schedule, so now he can arrive in Murray Bridge a day earlier (where he does have somewhere to stay) and now have an extra day off on Christmas day in Adelaide. I guess I better ring my Auntie in Adelaide & let her know she has her house guest arriving a day earlier and therefore staying an extra night! Thank goodness for family.
That's all for tonight folks, thank you to Ashley, Damien & Sue who have all made online donations. Thanks also to the people who have approached Mike today and enquired as to how to make donations. We will be updating the running total tomorrow.

Regards, Julie McKenzie.
