Day 8
Stayed at mum’s last night in Umina, quiet night chillin out by myself. was nice to have a comfy bed and cooked some dinner and watched tv all good. Woke up early and got the bike all packed up and rode up to Image Motorcycles at Wyoming to see about getting my rear shock done. Had a mac attack as it was across the road then headed over to Sandy’s at Davistown. Looked at a few houses for sale just for curiosities sake.

Just hung out at Sandy’s then Jack came home and went for a walk down along the waterfront to the local fish and chip shop to get a small bag of chips, its been a pretty warm day today 37c and was hot even walking by the water so im sure its been hot out in the western suburbs. Just been chillin here at Burritos for dinner then jsut been relaxing its still really hot now at 9:30pm. Anyway quiet day off to put my bike in to get the rear shock done then off to Jared’s for a few days which will be nice.
I guess people might be wondering whats going on with my trip over through Africa but I’ve decided to ride down to Tasmania then across to Adelaide then either up to Darwin via Uluru and down to Perth or just shoot across the Nullabor plain to WA but that’s a decision for another day, toss of a coin job again i’d imagine.
The camping at caravan parks has been ok so far 20 bucks a night for an unpowered site and a few of the nights I stayed in the vasn cost me $43.
Its funny the ive found camping so much easier than staying in a house or even the van, last night at mum’s as soon as I was in I was losing stuff walking around the house just going where did I put this and that, where as in the camping grounds if its not on the ground right near where the tent was ive got it on my bike so much simplier and was very noticable last night so I imagine I will be doing alot more camping as the trip unfolds.
I’ll start going through all the gear im carrying as I have done alot of research over the last few years on the different stuff recommended for a trip like what i’m planning so anyone planning such an adventure might get some use of it. i think i’ve set everything really well.
