I have reminded Alan on many occassions that if I ever come up with any more bright ideas he is to slap me and put me in a cupboard until the idea seems like a lost memory. Sadly he didnt take my advice this time and we decided to hire bikes for the day. We have been cycling a lot at home in the hope it would prepare us for this trip...hmmmmm.....
We cycled to Mission Beach (have these people any idea how lucky they are to live here!!) then onto Mission Bay (a lot quieter and probably a lot more expensive)this doesnt sound a whole lot but Alan has just worked this out on Google Earth and it is a staggering 28.5 miles - my buttocks are numb!!!I will defo be walking like John Wayne tommorow!! It's also worth mentioning we are both a little pink - local lobsters? Pah, we are the imported, British Lobsters!I almost dropped the bike back in the shop, warned Alan not to take my up on any more of my bright ideas then walked to Seaport Village for something to eat and a well earned beer.
So a short blog for today but my God was that an effort - and I never in a million years thought I'd ever cycle on the right hand side of the road in America - a true experience - hard work at times but well worth it. Off to the E&C now for a well earned glass of merlot - what a shame those Delegates have gone home :)
