Wednesday 22nd December 2010 – The owner of my hotel told me to head down to the wharf at 10am as this is when the fishing boats come in, usually followed by schools of dolphins. So I jumped on my bike at the appointed time and set off. Two guys on Triumph Rockets whizzed past me and, when I later arrived at the wharf, I found them there. So I wandered over and started chatting to them. There were no fishing boats in sights but upon hearing of my desire to see dolphins, they offered to take me out on their boat next week sometime! Can’t wait.

I then went off to meet the lady I’ll be house-sitting for. She introduced me to her landlady who said I’d been invited to share Christmas with a former resident and Boxing Day with someone else (can’t remember who now). So I’ve barely been Whyalla for 12 hours and already my diary is full!

I’ve been so lucky with all the wonderful people I’ve met on this trip. Some days I feel so unbelievably fortunate to be able to do this trip that I just ride along with the biggest smile on my face. I am so blessed.
