Day 10 Rest

Distance traveled 5034km
Temp 32

A rest day at last with a visit to Cable Beach and the shopping center to stock up on supplies. Most of the day was spent in the pool. JC arrived from Fitzroy Crossing around midday. We managed the obligatory sunset camel ride on the beach, Matt and JC on Jamal and Emma and Pete on Ely. Emma of course now wanted to bring a camel back to Melbourne, probably as practical as a stray dog...

Pizza in the Weber tonight a far cry from the sachet pasta and salmon of the previous nights in the desert.

JC dropped a bomb-shell tonight, that he had had enough riding in the hot temperatures and was going to ship the GS and himself home.
JC was struggling with the high temperatures, understandable with +40C of course but we thought that hydration may have played a role at some stages of the ride drinking less than 6L of water and no mineral replenishment. Something that should have been planned better.
