Well, well, well. The day has arrived. After a series of days fluctuating between intense excitement and extreme nervousness, I am now settling fully into the excitement phase. Front and rear panniers are 95% packed, just need to pick up some food items. Tash made me a Tasmania good luck chocolate ripple cake. First two nights of accomodation are set up with Nick, Otesha co-founder of sorts (as I understand it), in Burnie where there just happens to be a bike festival happening this Sunday. Woohoo! And then I'm heading south towards Takone for my first WWOOF farm.
My goal is to fundraise $1,000 (or more) for the Otesha Project (Australia)! If you'd like to help you can sponsor me on my trip! Pledge to donate __cents for each kilometer I ride! E-mail me.
Or donate directly through the Otesha site: http://www.otesha.org.au/supportus
And now I must go eat some pancakes that my lovely Oteshan friend, Tash, has made for me and my last morning in Melbourne! Chocolate cake and pancakes! That girl knows the way to my heart!
Ah yes, and a very special thank you to Rob for letting me take his bike, now known as Goat, around Tasmania! And to Bill and everyone at Human Powered Cycles for getting Goat ready to go in a super-speedy, last minute fashion!
