L0p3z and Neno's Upside-Down Adventure: Shonky Bikes but a good day

So the hostel we are staying in has free bikes and we planned to take them over to a nice bay about 20km away, then we hoped to head back to visit Cape Leeuwin lighthouse which is about 7km south of Augusta. When we checked the bikes out and had a ride on them we felt that 20km on the road wasn't possible as they were rusty in many places and had dodgy brakes. Oh and the gears didn't work properly, also Janines seat wouldn't go down so she was uncomfortable. We made the best of it and headed for the lighthouse as its a smaller road and much of it had a cycle track. It was hard going in the heat and hillier than we expected. Despite this we made good time and had a look around the lighthouse area before chilling out with a deserved cold drink. The lighthouse is at the point where the Indian and Southern oceans meet and apparently you can see the currents colliding on a stormy day, we couldn't! Janine then had a moment as she was "attacked" by a flying beetle (it was massive apparently), as I tried to calm her down it landed on her neck, she didn't notice and only freaked out more when it flew off. Anyone watching would have thought she'd seen a snake or on day release.

We took our time on the way back, partially due to some big hills and partially to have lunch by the Blackwood River and next to the Turner Street Jetty, which amused me even if Janine didn't immediately get the connection (Turner is my middle name for those who don't know).

This afternoon we have chilled out around the hostel, sitting in the sun reading and listening to music. This was only disturbed by what can only be described as a form of Tourettes which is brought about by the pesky flies who have taken a liking to our sun cream. They are seriously annoying trying to fly into your face all the time!
