Yay. Now I am here in Bridport. Its a rainy day and I am thrilled to have a short cycling day today. Tossed and turned all last night again, not due to paranoia, just couldn't sleep. I am actually very proud of myself for getting through the night without any freak outs. This was only my second time camping completely alone without anybody else nearby, and my first time in Australia. Camping alone is definitely not where I feel bravest. But even so, I tucked my tent away in the trees and stayed awake as long as possible to try and avoid the restless, middle of the night (lack of) sleeping. So much for that idea. The sunrise was once again beautiful and it was so nice seeing all the black swans out on the lagoon. Plus, half a dozen swallows darting around, which maybe, just maybe I will be able to identify when I look in my book later today.
I got in at 10am, after meeting Jeff 10 ks from town who was out cycling for his daily exercise. He escorted me into town and showed me the best place to get ice-cream. And now I am looking forward to a warm shower and some food (real food, then yes, ice-cream). The simple things in life.
xoxo.
