Snap!

I got my second puncture on this trip. I replaced the inner tube, almost pumped it up and then snapped the valve, arrggghhh. I was staying at a Warmshowers host in Crofton that night and so because it took me so long to replace the inner tube TWICE, they came and rescued me 😊, which was so kind of them.

I never knew that that could happen. I’ve got a mini track pump now, so hopefully not a problem next time

Good that you’re meeting so many nice people, I’ve found everyone to be so calm and laid back out here in Oz, with nothing being too much trouble. Must be all that sunshine and high vit B levels 🌞

    We’re back home now 😔. I think I need to emigrate, I loved the sunny spring days in Australia and the nice cheerful people 🇦🇺
