We arrived at the second tunnel at 1130 ready to get a few more miles under the belt but we had to wait till 3:30 to get towed throughh the tunne by the electric tugl. So lunch and a nap was in order. The tunnel is very long around 7 km and was built around 1780 when Australia hadnt even buit a brick dunny yet. It was completed by Napoleon.

Remember the Somme and Danny Styles
... that day, we finally booked in a tour for Wednesday.
After the rain and cold on Tuesday, Wednesday was fine and crisp (Maximum 7degrees). Olivier picked us up from the hotel and we were his only customers that day.
