Day 39
No Cycling
I didn't wake up until eleven o'clock...lazy git. Enjoyed the rest though. It was very hot through the night and I had been drinking beer the night before...obviously. Nature called about three o'clock in the morning.I was conscious of the fact that we wreer in a valley and noise travelled considerable distances. The corridor where the toilet was ituated was really dark. I skillfully and silently tip-toed along the darkened hallway and managed to find the light switch. I thouht it might be better if I sat rather than stood, because of the echoing sound of running water may carry. As I sat the obvious happened. I suppose it's a natural bodily function....sit on a toilet and you fart..it's the prelude if you know what I mean. It was like the trumpet of the Gods. I was so embarrassed but what can you do?
I went to get my bike checked over, after I had put it together. A coup,e of things needed sorting but it was better than I expected.
Sue bought me a local cycling top, which was very hard to get, thanks Sue, your kindness was much appreciated.
We went out for some beer and food, which was fantastic and thye rest was welcome but I am itching to get off. I still need to keep focused and can feel myself relaxing....a bad thing with so many miles to do. Everyone here have been fantastic. It was great to meet Brian and everyone else and it certainly brings home to me how many good friends I have. I am a very lucky person
A well deserved beer-o and rest-o Wayne-o. Can't believe that your American leg is behind you. This is some achievement. Best wishes Paul
