Awake
this morning at 6.30 am and on the road at 8. Only trouble was we went the wrong way but we were on
Route 66. Discovered this about 30
minutes into the trip so jumped on the I 40 back to Barstow then we where on
our way. (Ging to buy a GPS
tomorrow).
Discovered
that I can get 195 miles on a tank of gas. As close to running out going into Needles - Mark was the
same, both of us a bit worried getting into Needles.
We
were going to camp tonight but too bloody hot to pitch a tent so staying at
Days Inn only $26.00 each and it has pool. On the drive we stopped at Amboy a
small diner in the middle of nowhere went to order one of their famous milk
shakes but out of ice cream, some days you can't just win.
No
injuries yet except Mark has a burn on his leg from the bike and I feel like I
have pulled a hamstring ( just a wee niggle).
Thank
God we went and purchased the 100+ sunscreen as no sunburn yet but have noticed
its a different type of heat here.
Back home would be sun burnt by now due to the holes in the ozone layer
over NZ but sun not so intense here.
Still
having trouble with my iPhone and iPad.
Can get online with iPad (hence these blogs) but can't connect phone to
pad so can't send pictures. Also
can't connect phone to net so can't send them that way either so may have to
use iPad to take pictures.
Am
getting very comfortable on bike now and getting used to the big miles we are
doing each day.
That's
it - went out to a steak house big feed few beers so am a happy camper so away
to bed now as an early start!
