It rained overnight again and was mostly sunny in the morning. I took my time having breakfast etc so my tent would dry.
Walshs Pyramid is in the Wooroonooran National Park. There is an annual foot race to the top from nearby Gordonvale.
I had a strong tailwind today.
The traffic kept on increasing as I got closer to Cairns. The road surface improved and included a bike lane.
I arrived in town with ease and went straight to a phone repair shop called Sunshine Comunications. They were nice people.
They replaced my phone's charging port. The problem was probably salt water.
I'm happy it's fixed now. A big relief.
I then went for a look along the Esplanade.
And even happier to see Serena! She flew in direct from Canberra.
I met her at the Novotel hotel.
We will do touristy things for a week before I get on the bike again.
I'll still put up pics on my blog even though I'm not riding.
Today's ride: 44 km (27 miles)
Total: 3,902 km (2,423 miles)
