Day 20: 6/7/05

Well good morning Australia, 10:20pm on Wednesday Evening and 6:21am in Sydney Australia. Well, most of the crew have just returned from Italy and a feed of Pizza on the waters edge. Three of use Myself, Ben and Kate returned earlier after having a great spaghetti meal at a lovely Italian restaurant 5 km from the Italian border before entering back into Slovenia. Yes, lets chalk up another country that we have visited on the tour.

The morning started out with a sleep in, our official training slot was not until 1:30pm, a lazy morning was had by all. We have been slotted with the New Zealand and Latvian teams for official training session over the next couple of days. Justin and Jacqui took off to talk to the Kiwis about what would do in afternoon session. Full length runs were decided on for the session, two only, race simulation.

After a quick visit to the supermarket for lunch items all the crew were feed and they were of to the course at 11:45. I stayed behind to catch up on a few things and walked down to the course later, a leisurely stroll of about 45 minutes through town. On the way to the course I stumbled across a Model Aircraft shop ( another love of mine - is building model aircraft), well this will require an extensive visit on a later day to peruse the goods and maybe make a couple of purchases.

Well, back to what we are all here for, canoeing I think, the course was set and a start list prepared. We had 45minutes on the water, two quick runs and it was all over red rover. Some mixed results some people pleased and some not so pleased. We returned to our lodging for video review and a team meeting, this saw most of the afternoon out and then we were off to Italy for dinner.

See you tomorrow on the net. Cheers from all the Team in Slovenia.
