Finally made a bit of distance today….75km and 500m elevation gain.
Last night we slept on the covered deck of the tavern, and the owner left the door open for us so we could use the washroom during the night. So kind. We did try several times to leave them some money….but we were unsuccessful….so we left a note and cash on the bar for them to find. We didn’t even put up tent, just slept under the stars!
Today’s weather was a bit of a mixed bag. Cool and misty in the morning….and then around 1030 it got really hot and sunny. Some light rain and sun followed to warm and dry us off. I managed to duck under a big white tent for the first downpour which was great.
The hillside is rolling hills, and very green and lush. We are now riding more inland….with the occasional view of a beach. I didn’t get any good pictures of the scenery with all the rain, but will try tomorrow.
Today we had a short trip on a ferry, arrived just in time for the ferry then more cycling. The cycling is very challenging….so many steep hills. I’m doing better, but once it gets to 10% grade I need to push my bike!
Tonight I’m in a dorm….a dry bed with access to a clothes dryer, and the owner has cooked up some curry for everyone! Yummy. Now we are trying to place our bikes under a bit of shelter.
