Bevan, Bon Rouleur
1 August 2005
This was the worst day of the trip so far! The sun was shining, the wind was mostly in our favor, and our legs recovered nicely during the rest day. But I got really depressed. I've begun having second thoughts about this trip; a year (13 months!) is a really long time to be away from home. I miss everything. And am tiring of camping. I really looked forward to unconsciousness that night and fear that sleeping will be the highlight of every day. Hopefully things will pick up.
Today we do about 100km again (this is about our standard day) and have to bush camp (camping by the side of the road.) The first camp site doesn't help my depression; there's toilet paper and trash everywhere. We actually come close to camping there, but then decide to try a spot down the road (away from the pull-off this time.) The second spot is fine, so we pitch tent and cook another miserable meal of pasta and cheese. If a doctor is reading this, can he or she please tell me if it's bad to be eating 250g of cheese per day. This is what I've been doing and I'm somewhat worried about my cholesterol.
