    I had a horrible night. I must have caught the flu and I was lying awake most of the night shaking like hell, though I was not freezing 😬
    I felt pretty bad when I woke up at 6.30 am.
    Kara woke up shortly after me and after if been to the toilet I told her that I am feeling really bad and want to lay down again for a while, what was absolutely no problem for her.
    We took her stuff out from the tent and said, she moves to the hanging bed she has.
    I tried to sleep a little bit but it was hard...
    I felt a little bit better at 8.30 but still pretty bad.

    Kara was sending me back to bed and fixed some breakfast for me. I took some painkillers against my horrible headache and neck pain.
    And after one more hour of laying down and some breakfast, a felt good enough to drive to the next big town to go to a pharmacy and get some medications. We said, that we will stay here overnight if I am not starting to feel better during the drive to Bunbury.
    It took us around one hour to come to Bunbury and I stopped at the first pharmacy I saw and got some medication which I took immediately.
    We then went to the information center as we needed to fill up our water bottles and could find a tap with thinking waster. And we did a big mistake... We missed that he need a parking ticket in the car park. Though we were only gone for like 10 minutes we got a ticket 😳😬
    And it's expensive here, 70$! 😱😱
    Bad luck I would call this... At least we knew now where to get some water. Expensive water... 😕

    As I felt a bit fresher with the medication we kept on driving south. We wanted to go to Peppermint Grove Beach for our lunch break but somehow missed one road and was only driving through the Tuart Forest National Park instead. Beautiful drive through giant trees! Just amazing to see this!

    We then had our lunch break in Dunn Bay instead, another beautiful beach here!

    It's just so amazing how many of these extremely beautiful beaches are here on the West coast!
    I just love it!
    After a nice lunch break, we kept on driving.
