Y’all have to excuse my blog bombing but today has been too exciting after my travails of late not to post a positive experience.
I have just arrived back at the campground after 80km of blissful cycling around Darwin. Not dragging a trailer, solar pouring in to the batteries – being able to squander the battery energy and zoom along without the need to be conservative, a gorgeous network of cycle paths throughout the town but especially right along the coast up to lee point. Life is good.

It has been also been great spending time with other nomads in the campground – David – Jo and their 2 smalls, Tony, Mike and Nibs who presented me with a multi-meter when I arrived back today!
The stories shared last night will keep me chuckling at odd moments I am sure over the coming weeks. I was just chatting with Jo about the supportive network that bubbles along underneath the traveling community. It is certainly nice to be part of this.

I even went for a swim at the campground (not a common occurrence for me) which was refreshing and welcomed.

I have also just heard back from a warmshowers host who is happy to have me camped on her lawn for a couple of days here so I shall spend some time organising the next leg or two of the journey in a civilised and relaxed environment.
