Today was a pretty cruisy day. We had to go get new wheels, and then decided to head to the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide. It was alright, but last year they stopped allowing people to enter the locomotives and carriages because apparently people were stealing shit and vandalizing everything. I get their decision, but that kind of took about 80% of the gun out. It was basically just walking alongside old locos with a bunch of barriers besides them with the occasional plaque about the history of it. Also wasn't really national, state at best

They also had a little miniature railway. It was rideable, but a little freaky. It's intended to young'n's, and while age wise, I qualify as a I youn'n (or so I'm told), I absolutely do not have either the height nor stature of a young'n. Damn thing almost tipped over when I got in ๐Ÿ˜‚

Then we went to Okami for all you can eat Japanese food. I love Okami (hence why I'm probably capable of tipping miniature railways over), and came back for what was meant to be an early night but is rapidly becoming a late one (due for another 4am start tomorrow. Not sure why I do this to myself tbh)

Also got some cute postcards I'm gonna write up and post out tomorrow

I still can't believe you guys drove all those KMs with the space saving tyre.

Don't forget to write the DT a postcard tomorrow :D

We burst our tyre at approximately -38.141239, 142.221047, so going along our route did at least 650km on the space saver

(Plus ten mins drive today to get to the junkyard)
