Armidale Catholic Cathederal

It’s winter here and despite being a lovely and warm 20 degrees when the sun is out it got down to -6 that night which is pretty chilly. My light sleeping bag did a remarkable job of keeping me warm despite a comfort rating of 14 degrees I didn’t feel cold at all some 20 degrees below that value. Armidale has a museum and some impressive architecture or so Lonely Planet says so I decided to make a pitstop here to explore after only 30km.

The town is really picturesque and has some nice architecture but only by Australian standards. What they trumpet as masterpieces can be found in any town in Ireland or Britain. Maybe I’m just spoiled. The Pubs and Hotels look good though. That afternoon it abolutely pissed down with cold sleet-rain so taking the day off turned out to be a stroke of genius and my legs needed an easy day to recover a little.
