Gee, it got cold overnight or should I say early evening. The wind chill factor was about minus 10 degrees. Finding shelter at Nullarbor is a little hard as there are just no trees on the treeless plain. We sort of set up the cars so they gave a little protection but we were soon driven into the roadhouse for a few drinks and then dinner. Not a bad life on the road.
Drizzling a little overnight and first thing on the road; it lasted for about an hour or so but never very heavy. The wind was variable or should I say the road was turning at times. The riders were cold up till morning tea but then they started to warm up. Jacquei is still feeling "blah" and it doesn't seem to be getting any better so we've talked her into getting in the car about 15 kms from lunch. She was planning on getting back on the bike after lunch but she couldn't eat anything at lunch and was still feeling nauseous so she stayed with me.
Being in the car or leaving camp first usually gives you the choice of the best camp spot. Jacquei was overjoyed she had this opportunity and picked a nice little grassy area under a tree. Jim and Peter camped right next to her so it must have been a good spot.
We all had dinner together in the roadhouse with the Nundroo Hamburger as the main selection. We do eat a lot of hamburgers on this trip (not me so much as I have trouble eating them). The showers here are unisex with three showers (two in one room and with curtains only) and then a toilet and shower in the other room. They say they are renovating them but they haven't changed since our last visit. Collis and I showered at the same time so I wasn't disturbed by any of the riders.
