Day 61: Cairns, QLD

It was a gorgeous morning when we started out from Port Douglas to Cairns, and when we arrived at our new campsite it was still pleasant. We set up our tent and went shopping for groceries. When we finished shopping the monsoon arrived after which it was rain, rain, rain and more rain. When it’s raining this hard, there’s not much to do except hunker down in the covered camp kitchen, drink our wine and read our stories. So that’s what we did for the rest of the day. Come midnight, it was still pouring so we ventured out to our tent during a short lull in the storm, got into our tent and tucked in for the night. Hopefully, the monsoon will leave tomorrow.

Cheers,
Wayne & Peggy
