Day 46 – Lander Day Off
The boys were woken up by Brent this morning at 6AM. I wasn’t because I am sensible and wear earplugs to bed. Although earplugs do not stop you getting cold when you have rubbish sleeping bag and it is getting close to freezing outside!! We eventually got up at 8.30AM… which actually feels like a lie in nowadays. What is going on??
We left our tents and went to the swimming pool to relax. There was no public swimming session on but they did allow us, for $2 to have a shower which was quite nice having not showered since cycling 130 miles the day before! Then we went to the library so Dowds could watch some porn, I could take a nap on the comfy chairs and Chris could talk to his online cyber friends for several hours. We also put up a few photos on Facebook. Dowds then went back to the pool to do a swimming session with no goggles and now his eyes look like they are about to burst! Subway was the choice for lunch, where we now know the menu off by heart! We were then obliged to take Chris for his daily 10 cones of ice cream at the shop down the road before heading back to check on our tents and relaxing in the sun for a couple of hours. It feels like we have nothing to do when we aren’t cycling anymore!
Dowds and I later decided to take a ride to the supermarket to buy a disposable BBQ and some burgers & sausages for dinner. They took ages to cook and whilst we were waiting, a weird guy from a tribe came over with three plates of leftovers and some drink from his dinner. It was actually pretty good food. We were all tucked up in our sleeping bags and roll mats (which I have had a puncture in since the 2nd week!) by 9.30PM… which is a late night for us nowadays!
