Tuesday 8.12.2015 – Official resting day
It was the official resting day, and I can tell that people needed that. Not only because of late night yesterday, but also because of long flying days. After sleeping late, we decided to go to Dubbo Zoo with Pete and Wojtek. Before that we went to the airfield to have some breakfast, it was around 11 in the morning. When we arrived to the airfield, it was obvious that there had been a party on previous evening. Good example of that was feet coming over one pick up car tailboard. That was yesterday’s birthday boy, Michael, who had his 21st birthday. I must say that it was a good birthday party for him. Also FAI flag was found from the beacon light tower.
Dubbo Zoo was worth to see, we met also Swedish and part of German team there. Finnish team had been there earlier than us, on Norwegian team came there later. We met Finnish team by coincidence at Hungry Jack’s (which Europeans would know as Burger King).
In the evening we walked to the local bowling club and had a dinner with 15 other from the organization. Thunderstorm started when I was ordering some wine(!) and lights went out for a second. Thunder was gone in few minutes, but it was raining when we got back from the club.
