Another sunny day this morning; it is going to be a bit of a shock to the system when we arrive back home.
After a slightly later start than usual, with shorter rides we see no point in rushing, we headed off along the coast to Betty's Bay. With the wind, for the main part, behind us we sped along the gently rolling road. The coastal scenery was lovely and we saw a return of the much needed hard shoulder. It was a perfect cycling day and by the amount of cyclists we encountered along the road, they must have thought so to.
Making good progress we stopped at a small café for a coffee and then carried on to Kleinmonde, where we picked up some supplies. We weren't altogether confident that there was going to be any decent shops in Betty's Bay and on arrival, it looks like we were correct.
Accompanied by motorbikes and bicycles we rode the last 10km to Betty's Bay and arrived outside Bayside Beach House. Debs had already booked, so we are checked into a basic room with a lovely view of the ocean. We have no real plans to do anything while we are here except relax, have a dip in the pool and have a round of crazy golf. Yes, the hostel has its own, albeit a little run down, 9 hole crazy golf course. We can safely say that both Debs and I are nowhere near threatening the course record; unless the course record is particularly high! It was pretty good fun though, even if the afternoon sun ended any further play. If it stays this warm, the pool will be getting some further use this afternoon.
We head to Somerset West tomorrow, to stay with some friends of Larry and Sharon. It should be another shortish day, but we may have the wind in our faces for some of the journey. Hopefully it won't be too strong.
