and I’m too lazy to type the bloggage from the previous days right now..
Just letting you know I’m alive in case you start celebrating or something..
Will be heading into Germany very soon.
Over and out.
Beware! Cycle touring can change a person..

Ooooooh… that’s scarry…
I’m not sure what’s scarier – the split-mo’ thing, the look in the eyes or the sun-exposure (what happened to that lilly-white office boy look?).
One thing though – those teeth are too clean. You can’t be travelling light enough (ditch the brush and paste) or you’ve got too much time on your hands. Why brush your teeth when you can kick back dude? Sheesh… no wonder travelling’s a bit tough on you some times. RELAX!

P.S. Nice helmet hair.
P.S. You look like a crazy paedophil in some little kids room, considering the paint work and the bunk-bed in the background.
Now I’m scarred.
paedophile…
"Uncle Stuart’s here kiddies! Come out from under the bed – he’s got a game for you to play!"
Oooooh… that’s really scarry.
He’s just not a lily-white office boy any more Anthony and I love his teeth. The hair – well, we’ve all seen that look before. As to the latter – I, me, his mother, isn’t even going there!!!
Hey mofo I was never lilly-white! I was always the stupid git who thought spending 6hrs riding on the first ‘non overcast’ day of the year wouldn’t get me _that_ burnt.. and two days later I lose all the skin off my arms, nose, etc. Five days later and it’s like summer never ended.. 😛
I can’t explain how my facial hair grows or doesn’t grow. I think the old man got most of the mo’ genes.
As for the teeth.. notice the yellowish light above me? It worked very well to cancel out the yellowed "I eat nothing but sugar" teeth 😛
Each room in the Simplon Hostel in Groningen is painted with different themed cartoons, see:

Ah… good to hear. I remember seeing you with your strap-marks. And not bra-strap! The strap on your backpack when you decided on a mid-40’s mildura ride that it was a better idea to keep your shirt in your bag and put it on when you got to peoples places so it wasn’t sweatty, then ride with no top on… that was pure brilliance.
I’ll have to remember that yellow light thing. I don’t have bad teeth myself, just bad brushing habbits. It makes it a special day when they’re all nice and sparkly!
Whoa – that’s scary!
I concur, dude, that’s scary. And hairy too.
As for the strap marks… I had a friend who decided to try a marathon. He hadn’t run for years. He took a backpack, so he could carry an itty bitty cd player, and he wore a button-up business shirt.
Halfway through, he took the shirt off and packed it away, because it was so hot. At this point, it was clean-ish. At the end of the race, it was red… he had bled right through the backpack.
<obvious comment> Ooooh… that sounds painful… </obvious comment>
Ant:
I had the sunburn marks around the backpack straps for a frickin year!!!
Fsck me, the mosh pit at Falls was hell! My back was a blistered, peeling, soggy mess.. gotta die of something right? Wonder if it will be sun exposure or cream cakes that gets me first?
Tam:
What the hell was he wearing a business shirt in a marathon for?! Even I’m not that stupid! Please tell me it was a ‘dress up’ marathon or something?
Oh, he could`ve put the shirt back on, but I know what it’s like when you get into a rythm or zone or whatever with pain.. "It’s only another 20k.. It’s only another 20k.. It’s only another 20k.." and then you are paying medical bills for the next two months to fix the damage.
Speaking of which – I wonder if my big toe(nail) will die before the trip is over? Frickin’ hell I need some new shoes! I’m looking, really, but no one carries the bigger sizes so I have to wait until I get to Berlin, say, where I’ll be hanging around a while. Should fix the knee problem too coz I’ll have some cleat adjustment..
Yeah… I hear you again on that one man. Most of us Mildura guys have big feet. Just ask the Mildura girls. We go into a shoe shop, and the girl gives us something too small. We tell her straight away that it’d be too tight, but she insists we try jamming all of our foot into it. Are the German shoe salesgirls the same Stu? Or are there lots of guys trying to fit you up for shoes there?
German, Spanish, American, Aussie – they’re all the same..
What gay in their right mind would look twice at me! 😛
I get more interest from chicks with this semi-beard thing I have – what the fsck is with that?! I must look interesting in a non-threatening, arctic-explorer kinda way? 🙂
