Wednesday 25 January Back in the truck
The usual. This time Sam got them to lay on early breakfast for us and we were on the road by 8. The scenery was flat flat flat. Late in the day there was a single distant hill but generally it was almost like a pool table. Sunflowers and soy with some cattle and sheep.
The overnight stop was the inevitable back of truck stop. I had co-opted the new trainee tour leader (French) into our group and had gone out on a limb making my signature Risotto. The bottom line was I was very happy to get enough rice to feed 25 with second helpings into 1 frying pan, it didn’t stick, and we had pre-cooked butternut and 2.5kg chicken. The flavourings needed to be multiplied at the last minute but it went off very well. Leslie whistled up a dessert with tinned fruit rolled in biscuit crumbs – next time we will all just chop and stir for her.
