Today was a pretty good way of getting back into the cycling after a lay off. The route out of East London was very straightforward, with minimal traffic, and for the main part the terrain was fairly rolling. Even the humid weather that we had woken up to eased and we had a warm yet entirely comfortable ride to Kidd's Beach.
Having been told that the camp-site was full, we were to be staying at the local primary school. The site is opened to campers for the holiday season. It looked pretty closed up when we rode past, but a quick phone call had someone down to let us in and we currently have the playing field to ourselves. Shade is a bit of a problem though, so we will be hoping that it cools down considerably during the evening!
Leaving our oven-like tent behind, we headed down to the very nice beach. A stroll along the water wading in the rock pools, was followed by a dip in the salt water pool. We haven't spent a great deal of our time on the beach since we arrived on the coast, so it was nice to get here early and have a wander.
Assuming the service is better than it was at lunchtime, we will probably have dinner at the local restaurant and then have an early night. We have a longer day with a couple of biggish climbs ahead of us tomorrow.
