Day 6 .... rain.

The day started early with an 8am on-the-bikes so we could cover the miles quickly and get to our next Ger camp out by the ‘blue lake’.

We ripped along quickly to lunch in a restaurant in a town, but the lunch was very slow so we lost a bit of time. As we headed out of town... the rain started and soon it was steady and soaking. We were also climbing up so it was getting cold. It should have been a relaxing and pleasant ride but it quickly became miserable.

When we turned off the main road to ride in about 20km on dirt to our camp it was muddy and slippery, but once we got out of town the road was pot-holed but ok so we ripped along to camp.

It should be a beautiful place, looking out across the lake, but right now it is still pouring down and we cant see much at all. The lake is very grey.

If your have ever wondered how they make Ger waterproof (no I hadn’t either until today) - they don't. At least the fire heater works well and there is a slight chance to dry the gear.

Fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow - a free day to explore the lake.
