Day 33 Port Fairy 0 kms Rest Day

Collis has been fighting off a cold for the last couple of days, coughing and sneezing all over the place. He is worse today with aches and pains as well as all other symptoms. I have been dosing him up with lemon drinks, vitamins, oranges and sudafed so hopefully this may be the peak today and he will start feeling better tomorrow.
Slept in, which is usual for rest days. Went for a walk into town with Collis and Annie. Bought the kids some presents seeing we've been away for nearly 6 months. Some nice little art galleries but too difficult to transport anything home with all the luggage we are carrying. Ended up having lunch in town before taking Collis home and putting him back into bed. He slept for a couple of hours and felt some improvement when he woke up.
I read out the letters of encouragement that had been placed on Facebook, at the briefing and they were appreciated by all the riders. We finalized the photo competition for this leg with Ben as the winning entry. The theme was the "road" and his winning photo will be on the front cover of this leg.
