The people you meet

Walking to the showers, I met a guy I know quite well from the yacht club In Inverloch. His wife works as a palliative care nurse. He's been in the ride since the start if the week! I hadn't seen him till today! I find that amazing. 

We continue to have interesting chats over meals, or in queues, with all sorts of people, and meet some people several times, lime Rhonda who was riding with us the 2nd day & so encouraging. 

I unwittingly jumped the phone charging queue tonight - felt bad, but got chatting to the man behind me. He's riding a tandem with a blind guy from Darwin - he'd not met him till they got to Mount Gambier. He said there are 3 blind people on the ride. 

Ok, bedtime. We have to be gone from the campsite by 8:30 (shouldn't be too hard, but I'll have to get my tent partner up in good time, that's 5:30..), and in Lorne by 11 for lunch.
