Lots of last minute preparations and excitedness.
We're a bit scared about the 1000m climb ahead of us, but it will be largely downhill from there.
The drive up here was as nice as it could be, in a monster of a campervan for $5 a day. There were many moments reminding me why I prefer being on a bike- which is just as well, because there's a lot of hours in the saddle ahead!
My partner in crime, Ryan, will be a guest author on the blog for the journey. Not sure when we'll have internets but when we do you'll be sure to hear about all our crocodile encounters, desert pancake-cookups and other near-death experiences.
Time for bed, as we'll need our energy for the climb tomorrow, just wanted to do a quick post announcing the beginning of this adventure. Hurrah!
yay, goodluck. i know i know i have been promising a letter for ages. but i have one. where to send? please let me know when you can. goodluck!
