Day 18: Fri 14 Aug – Brisbane to Hervey Bay

7:30am and I don’t even know what day it is. Watched a great movie – The Soloist about a newspaper man. Then was able to get a couple hours of sleep. Had a loooooooooong wait in Brisbane; arrived from Brisbane about 7am and didn’t leave for Hervey Bay until 5pm!!  Had a long snooze in the QANTAS Club in Brisbane. It was great to be home when I did eventually get there.

Day 10: Thu 6 Aug – Grein to Melk

Ride: 50km It was 8:16am before I started to feel a little better. Needless to say, I had a very ordinary day on the bike. I was on the point of collapse most of the day.  When we got to our hotel, the bed was very welcoming! Graham brought up some soup and a milkshake which I consumed then read for about half an hour. Slept on and off for the rest of the afternoon and night. Our accommodation for the night - can't split that bed! Early morning downtown Grein Another bike ferry ride Melk Abbey, a Benedcitine monastery
