Simply cycling around
Fouaaa! That was one of my best night! I slept very well and of course it was more than quiet haha. I didn’t hear any snakes, crocodiles are other dangerous spiders, just a car around 5:30 am. Nobody stopped to tell me I’m not allowed to camp here. Perfect! One more free camping! :-) Since I quit Cairns I’ve never been in any campsite yet, record!
Here we go! I was hesitating between riding back onto the Mulligan highway towards Lakeland but I’ve finally decided to do the road joining Laura. One more time, I’m extending my trip :-) Yesterday in the information center I’ve met somebody more interesting than Friday. The woman was a volunteer and she gave me much more details about the road I’m going to take. She indicated me where I can find water. This area is not really dangerous (about animals) but there is many cars. It’s okay.
Long day today and I’m going to spend few hours to write everything I think but let’s go. Firstly I didn’t sleep well last night because it was so hot! And even if I was hide behind a tree, it was really easy for any ranger or policeman to find me. Nothing appended but well, it could be.
Today, direction Cooktown! Finally after all these questions I asked to myself, I’ve almost done everything I wanted. And it’s good because I won’t regret anything. Normally the road should be easier than yesterday. Since the different villages I’ve passed yesterday, the road was already easier and it’s normal I think because they need an easy access to carry bigger things. So I’m positive and hope I won’t have to push my bike as long as yesterday. I even pushed more than one year in NZ. Who said OZ is flat?
Hey :-) I’ve finally decided to continue my trip towards Cooktown. It should be a pity to come until the cape and come so closed to Cooktown! From here to the town of mister Cook the road is only allowed for 4WD vehicles. But I’ve got a MTB and I’m going to rock this trail! Let’s go!
Yes the sun came back and it’s a nice warm day :-) Today I’m going to reach the departure of the “whitecliffs walkway” I want to pass through that one tomorrow and avoid 30km of the main road. I want to stick as much as possible to the sea because the main road is going inland almost all the way until Auckland. It’s maybe shorter but I have enough time to choose a side trip. Let’s go!
Today I’m going to have a one more day off. It’s still raining and so windy. This is the worst part. I thought this king of weather was only seen in Wellington! I’ve got something to do in the city so I don’t feel I will waist my time here. And. I have to find another place where to stay tonight because the last one…
