I did not sleep that well although I did dream that Logan found it. Anna and I had agreed to get up early as soon as the sun was up and start what we thought was a hopeless search. Dressed and heading out the door here on the hand rail was part of the fob and a note give me until 7 and we go and have a better look. At 2.30am they had found the bit that had the top box key and the battery in it but the rest was still missing. Where our prayers being answered? It had hit the road and busted into 5 separate parts. Logan and I when to the spot where they had found it on a bridge about 8k from the home end. They had search 40 odd kilometres in vain. We walked down under the bridge. Straight away on the short grass eaten down by the sheep I found the other half and the rubber mount. But the critical circuit board and the fuel tank key were still missing. In about 15 minutes found the circuit board in the long grass. We could not believe it. I rang Robyn. Praise God! We keep looking for the key. It was 8.10 and we agreed to look for 10 more minutes. I had a spare key for this so it was not critical. We had a CSI discussion and decided to look in a different spot. Almost straight away Logan spotted it. We were over joyed. We went home put it all back together. And the bike started. Halalulla. Today is my birthday. This was the best present every. It went from what could have been a very hard day to a great day. I was going to have a happy birthday. Thank you Lord.
The rest to the day was pretty simple besides we packed up and then when for a look around Launceston. First to the gorge and beautiful park land in a gorge that runs into town. Warren shout me a ride on the chair lift which has the longest single span of any in the world. At the other end we had morning tea and were entertained by the peacocks and their chicks. Robyn and Anna rode back and we when to the city park. A place with beautiful big shade trees and great grass. We sat around and yarned. Our trip was about to change. Shelby is going to Cambodia with a Uni trip in another week so Deanne, Joel and Shelby were flying home today to get ready.
Warren and Kerry left after lunch to here for Devonport and see the Sargisson's, a couple we used to work with at MCC. At about 3.30 Logan took the Deanne and crew to the airport. On his returned we all headed for Devonport. We followed the highway for about 20 mins and we were sick of the cars so we turned north at Westbury and head for Devonport via Port Sorell. There were almost no cars but we did meet a few milk tankers. In Devonport we returned to the cafe we started our Tassie visit in. Robyn and I shot off for a cuppa with the Sargisson's too. The fairy was running late so we had tea at the cafe and then when down to board. It was after 10 before we pulled out. We were looking for a good sleep after little last night.
