Woke to clear skies again! It was almost getting to the stage where we hoped it would be raining so we didn’t feel guilty about lounging around and putting our feet up. The 6,000ft of ascending and descending the day before had meant we now needed to use the furniture to help us walk around whenever we got up……we suddenly felt old. Spent the day writing up the blog, shopping at the local supermarket 12km away and sitting on our deck watching cyclists from the local bike hire centre passing on bikes with saddles so low their knees were up around their chest. No wonder they had to get off and walk their bikes up the hill. It was very common to see a man pushing 2 bikes up the hill ahead of a woman looking miserable about 100m behind. The bikes were probably responsible for hundreds of relationship woes during the summer season as we witnessed expressions from frustration to despair and loathing.
