Day 66: Rest day
It rained most of the day. My tent leaked. Very frustrating.
Maybe I bought the wrong type of tent, but either way this one is poorly designed.
I had closed the lids on my panniers and not clipped them securely. One of the lids came open in strong winds and then filled with a little puddle of water. Everything in there was a bit wet. Hopefully I can dry it out tomorrow.
I had a restful day except someone stole my charger and powerbank that was charging in the toilets.
I thought it was safe as only people staying here should be using those toilets. They are close to the car park so anyone can walk in there.
I had even sought permission from a roadhouse worker to do it. In almost every stop I will charge my things and leave them unattended. There is a risk to this and I'm willing to cope with the outcome. One theft in 11,000kms or 7 months is pretty good I reckon.
I'll buy a replacement in Geraldton
