… or how do you get from Adelaide to Melbourne.

After we left Hahndorf, we drove down on the Princess highway to Mount Gambier’s. The weather was pretty nice on that day. It was cold, but sunny. I had a nearly accident with a snake in the Coorong National Park, but fortunately the snake went into the bush before I stepped on it.

When we arrived at Mount Gambier’s it started raining and we figured out, that there were bicyclists everywhere. It was hard to find some place for dinner in town. Later we were told that this was the beginning of the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride. Around 6000 people joined that ride, wow! The next morning we went up to blue lake. Unfortunately the tour started up there as well 🙁  It was terrible raining and around 10 degrees; and these poor guys were on a 9 day trip from Mount Gambier’s to Melbourne. For no money in the world it would have changed with them…
