Goodbye WA - Hello SA

2600 kilometers of highway was the result of a rough route planning for the drive from Albany in Western Australia (WA) to Adelaide in South Australia (SA). A large part of the route leads through the treeless Nullarbor Plain. Our previous daily cycling average of 50 km didn't quite match the 200 km distance that has to be covered from one roadhouse to another on this plain in order to get water, food and accommodation. We therefore looked for alternative means of travel.
Apparently, however, it is not so easy to leave WA, as we discovered that it is not permitted to cross the state border in a rental car. So the idea of hiring a car was quickly put to one side and we hopped on a bus that took us back to Perth. There we were able to pick up our bike boxes from our former accommodation and get the bikes ready to fly again.
It was interesting that we had booked a domestic flight from Perth to Adelaide, but it was handled like an international flight with passport and security checks in the relevant terminal. However, we made it to our Jetstar economy seats without any problems and were served our ordered piece of banana bread (a favorite among our Australian snacks) with coffee.
After a butter-soft landing in Adelaide, when we blocked the queue at customs with our bulky boxes, the friendly border police officer whisked us straight past the baggage check and we were standing in the arrivals hall - Welcome to South Australia. (Adelaide, Australia)
