Day 405 | Bamaga: picked up by Andi and Susie
44 km | zzOz total: km
So the return down the Cape has, almost, begun.
I was hanging around the Bamaga store, can’t accurately describe it as a supermarket although it does, having made it back into town, contemplating power points when two kayaks appeared down the road on the roof of a battered ute, did a 180ยบ and a wooly looking Andi popped out the question, Do you want somewhere to stay?
Unaccustomed to acts of spontaneous and gratuitous kindness I was momentarily flummoxed but despite my propensity to solitude I’ve long realised that the best things in life are shared, so I have a double bed, clean sheets, a fluffy towel, mega power outlets, all those creature comforts many learn to take for granted and fear they would quickly expire without, but most of all some genuine generosity and company of the highest order.
Maybe some time before I get away.
