Day 18
The rest days were over, its time to leave Albany and ride long way to Bremer Bay. I met really nice people here, even we are total strange 3 days ago. We become really good friends, I think this is a really good part of travelling. Anyway, the ride was just long and flat way. The scenery didn't change a lot whole day. But thanks to the cloudy weather, it kept me away from heat and bloody annoying flys. Arrived in Bremer Bay at 16.00. By the time I get there I was totally run out of energy. I set a tent, went shopping, had quick dinner and jump into bed at 20.00.

Day 19
Up at 5.00. Dead slept for 10 hours. Since I couldn't see Bremer Bay yesterday, I did look around the town, well it was even hard to say it was a town as there was only one general store and one gas station in the town. But the beach there was beautiful, the colour of the sand was totally white.
Left the Bremer Bay at 9.00. Today's goal point was Jerramungup, about 100 km up north. The way was not exciting. Got to Jerramungup around 14.00. Checked into a caravan park. There was not much in town but there was 2 pet kangaroo in the Caravan Park.

Day 20
Up at 4.30. I decided to leave as soon as the sun rises. And it was a really good choice. It was really cool in the morning, the sunrise was total beauty, and of course no car on the road. 90 % of scenery I see on the way today was bush. Its totally the same. Continuous bushes made me feel like riding at the same place forever like in a shitty computer game or something. So I was just counting the distance shown on my cycle computer.
Arrived in Ravesthorpe around 12.00. Had lunch at a cafe, checked in a caravan park, realised that the back tire was flat, repaired it, went shopping, and now I'm writing the blog.

No photos for today as I forgot to take cable here.
