Physical state: Exhausted in the morning but I picked up after 3 cups of coffee and managed to scoot for the most of the day.

Emotional state: My brain is like deleted computer. It probably needs to be reporgammed.


I wake up and my whole body is in pain. I desperately need coffee. Maria is a good girl. The coffee machine is always ready for a morning one. I put it on the stove. I can hardly any see through my puffy eyes.....which is something I did not have for a long long time. I sit in my camping chair dreaming. How nice it would be back in the office...hmm... we human being are strange creatures... always dreaming about what we do not have.... when I was in the office I could not wait to be on the road... how do I manage another 30 kms with this ache???

2 more cups of coffee...and...what a strange feeling....what's going on... am I getting back to my good physical condition??? It seems so.

Peter and Maria are slowly packing our stuff into the car and I am already on the scooter. The last thank you to the waiter an off I go... I am on the road.

You find a lot of interesting "stuff" on the road. I pass by a lot of empty cans, ropes, gloves etc.. I am not too sure about the porno magazine but the rope can certainly find a good use on our journey.I am winding it around the handle bar. I do surprise Maria and Peter with my findings and they have a good laugh.

I continue scootering. It is a beautiful day... the birds are singing songs in various musical genders..... are these songs about a victory or a failure?? Why am I even thinking this?


I am quietly swimming through the wind. I cannot believe it... I am passing the sign announcing Port Douglas city ahead. The speedometer tells me that I managed 52.3 kms on this day.


The article about this journey was published in Port Douglas and Mossman Gazette today. I still want to place some more leaflets in information centres. People here must be reading the paper regularly. Everyone is accepting it with no hesitation. They have read about my mission already... they are wishing me good luck.... I certainly will need that...
