Beach life

There’s something better about anything you do in life if you do it on, or even by, a beach. We draw the line at riding on the beach, but our route today along the beachfront road was just gorgeous.

We had a gentle breeze in our face to keep the temperature bearable and the clear blue water always on our right for a very pleasant day’s riding. It was also pretty much pan flat - which is always nice when you’re carrying all your worldly goods with you.

Morning coffee was yet another espresso freddo — they are really growing on me. I’ve checked out how to make them too, so this one could run and run in those long, hot, sweltering English summers :-)

We had another lunch by the water and a nice man sat nearby gave us some apricots to go with it. Very kind.

We reached our campsite to discover that the northern European emigration to the Mediterranean has started. One swallow may not make a summer, but 25 camper vans are a definite sign that the holiday season is kicking off. Luckily our little tents can almost always be squeezed in, and we have a small stony patch under a tree for the night. Let’s hope the Dutch women beat Cameroon and we can be partying the night away!
