 All the rain showers that I've seen on this trip have started suddenly, been very heavy and only lasted a few minutes. I was only two blocks away from my hotel when this one started but it was so heavy that I had to rush to the nearest cover, which was this bandstand. For most of this trip I have had an old mobile phone mounted on the handlebars, which I have been using as a map and for GPS logging, and for taking some photographs. When the first rain shower started half an hour ago I moved it into the pannier to keep it dry. I took it out to take a few more photographs here. It had some moisture on the screen but was still working. After this I put it back in my pannier, then waited for the rain to stop and walked to the hotel. Unfortunately when I next tried to use that phone a couple of hours later it was completely unresponsive. That's why there is no GPS trail for today and some of the photographs are missing. That phone was using a mapping application which I like and which I have used for years but it's not available any more. I will have to start using some different software for my maps from now on, on one of my other phones.
