Wandering around in the rain in Cairns, I spied this sweeeeet old Land Rover. I want one!

Today, I went to the bike shop to see Vince at about 9 a.m. He had fixed my brake, and I thanked him profusely for it. Later, I went to the Internet café, again, to do some work on the Drive Around the World journal page.

Later, I watched “Along Came Polly”, with Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston, at the local theatre. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad, either. I love those two actors, so it was worth seeing. On the way to the theatre, I saw a cool old Land Rover.

When the movie was over, I did some route planning for my bike trip and decided I need a minimum of 23 days to travel the 1100 miles to Brisbane.

After that, it was dinner, more Internet, and than Dr. Doolittle on tv. I love going to bed early!
