I got to Coober Pedy
Hello,
I left Cadney Homestead 5am and travelled 153km and just got Coober Pedy, I am so tired! I will stay at a underground hotel for a couple of days.
Sorry no picture... since I am writing this from Pay Internet.
Last evening just after I got to Cadney Homestead I had a storm and thunder. The wether forecast was right! I fortunately booked a room so there was not big problem. I will put up movie when I get back to Japan!
Total travel distance from Alice Springs is 720km!
See ya!

I am in Marla
Hello everyone,
Thanks for the comments.! I travelled nearly 500km and got Marla last evening.(a small town with only around 100 population.) I found vodafone 3G does not work in the desert town until I get near Port Augusta. So I am writing this from Public PC in the Marla restaurant. People here are very kind and I am touched. Since I like this town and am tired a bit , I will stay and have a good rest here tonight too. I will travel 90km tomorrow and get to Cadney park. On Thursdy 150km and get to Coober pedy. The tempurature here went down rapidly, so it is cold when I camp.(before sunrise its 15c and evening 35c! ) I will put up articles with a lot of photos when I get back to Japan!
Cheers,
Kowappa

明朝6時出発!
昨日は日中41℃だったのに、きょうは30℃くらいの驚くほど涼しい日でした。殆ど水を飲まなくてもいいくらいです。インターネットの天気予報によると明日は日の出が0609、肝心な風向きはラッキーなことに南!この時期はしばらく追い風になるようです。気温は最高27℃最低16℃。90㎞先のSturts wellのキャラバンパークに向かいます。これから先は3月11日が満月になりますが、嵐の可能性があり、降水確率50%。夜の走行は危険なので止めます。ちょうどこのころは順調に進めば720㎞先のCoober Pedyに着く予定ですが、もしかしたら無理をしないで手前でキャンプします。
実は今日はゆっくり街中で観光と考えていたのですが、テストランの結果パンク対策が甘い事が分かり、この街の三店の自転車屋全てを回り対策に追われる有り様でした。詳しくは帰国後レポートしますが、この3日は非常に重要でした。
