Day 28 - 13 June - Cairns

Slow start to the morning.  Pancake breakfast provided by YHA was good.   About 10:00 am we went looking for a bike box for Joe and bike gloves for me.

At the Jardine River, my gloves were sopping wet with sweat and so I took them off and put them on a rail while we waited for the Jardine ferry.  Unfortunately, I forgot them when we went on the ferry.  Didn't notice for a few Kms but it was too late to turn back.  Bike shops to get gloves are few and far between on Cape York so I improvised when we were in Bamaga.  II bought some gardening gloves and cut the fingers off.  I reckon I am the most stylish bike rider around.  Pretty poor quality though and they disintegrated on the way back from the Tip.

 Stopped of at Cairns Central on the way and Joe had an interesting chat with this guy.  Joe will talk to anyone and as it turns out, anything..

 We ran into One Direction and they wanted to have their picture taken with Joe.  He reluctantly agreed.  I think Joe and Harry styles is the new bromance.

We eventually found the Giant Bike shop and they were happy to give Joe a box.  We took it back to YHA and Joe boxed up his bike. 

Had a lazy afternoon.  We had decided to go to Salthouse a restaurant at the marina for our last meal of the trip.  We went there last year as well.   Great food and wine.














Loved the view from the urinal.
