Some isolated showers…wind is also gusty.
Just like a winter.
After breakfast I said goodbye to Aenne and Michael and I drove to Stirling in his car.
We arrived in Stirling in about 20 minutes.
I had everything loaded and I said goodbye to Michael.
He really tries to understand my project and was very cooperative.
His wife Aenne also wishes WORLD PEACE. We talked about it last night.
I first met them in caravan park in Salmon Gums, WA 2 months ago.
Meeting is a treasure. Every meeting has a meaning.
I left Stirling for Melbourne before 8am.
When it was sunny, I felt better but some isolated shower made me feel cold.
I stayed at bus stop or under the roof of some shops as a rain shelter.
Handorf was a pretty town, which made me feel like I was in Germany.
After that I followed Back Callington Road.
Gravel road, so hilly with lots of 10 percent or more grade hills.
This mountain route reminded me of Aparachian Mountains which I had conquered in 2011.
It took 10 minutes to go 100m. This is a mountain climbing, actuallyy.
Especially down hill was kind of scary because the gravel surface was so slippery that once I fell down my heavy buggy would pull me down to the end of the downhill.
About 4pm, I arrived in Callington.
I asked the owner of the hotel and the bar but he said the hotel was not open any more. Only bar is open to public.
There's a caravan park or motel the next city Murray Bridge but it's 20km east of here.
I had no energy left and wanted to finish. What could I do?
While I was at a loss what to do in front of the bar, the owner came out and said I could pitch my tent at the back yard.
How lucky! I pitched my tent on the green lawn.
It's a bit chilly but free accomodation!
Everything will be all right anyway!
