Hello !

I'm writing to you from the YHA in Adelaide. Its looking like a slight break from the heat today, topping out at 26 🥶
Today I'm heading into the Adelaide hills to watch Stage 2 of the Men's Tour Down Under bike race 🚲

Pretty much immediately after sending the last update I ripped a few massive holes in one of the 3 shirts I brought on this trip, so I spent a bunch of time this week sewing that up.

I dont have an after picture, so youll have to imagine it

I headed out to see Mangles Bay, named after my friends family (See the bad reasons why here). It wasnt the nicest place, but it was sunny & i got fish n chips so it wasnt all bad.

After the lows of mangles bay (it wasnt that bad lol), I went on a road trip to Bussleton & Bunker Bay with someone I met in the hostel.

We walked down the 1.8km (!!) long jetty, saw a cool train and went in an underwater observation thing. (I saw a fish eat a crab but the video is too long to upload here)

A cool solar powered train. I now have a pin badge with the train on it.

The beach @ Bunker Bay. The waves did this weird thing where they crashed into each other and created a sawtooth pattern on the coastline. I didnt think to get a video to illustrate this better...

Mandatory Kangaroo sign on the roadtrip back to Perth. We did see a bunch of actual Roos, but didnt get a snap

My last few days in Perth were pretty relaxed. I went to some galleries & museums, to Scarborough Beach & saw lots of people kitesurfing

After I landed in Perth I met up with Matt (No pics, I will get one for next episode) in Adelaide for a coffee & bacon buttie (was too hungry, no pics).

He took me backstage at the tour down under where I got to see some of the magic of pro cycling! After that I went & took some pics of the riders on the first time trial stage thru the city.
