The longest day

Yesterday was a combination of a bus ride, a boat ride, time lounging by the pool, and a bike ride if you wished. I chose not to as I was really concerned about today's ride which was to be 60 miles! That is more than I have ever done.

We started riding at 7:30am and the temperature here is 90 degrees and humid. It was open road with no shade whatsoever and I was still hanging with the pack when we stopped for lunch after 46 miles. At that point the guide, who knows I am way older than anyone else, came and very nicely informed me that we would be entering the hills and maybe I would like to take the bus, at the same time telling me I had done really well. I decided to follow his advice and took the air-conditioned bus.

Our hotel tonight is the Bamboo Lodge which comprises of a number of cute cottages, we were just safely ensconced when down came the rain, and it feels good to be inside with my IPad and the TV.
