Well a different way to write a draft. Using notes does not transfer well to WordPress. So this draft is written on gmail .
Decided to opt out of the long 80km 900m elevation. Took the hired bike and cycled up the coast past Rimini to Ballaria. This was a very good day where I could stop , do a bit of my Wales business and to relax instead of just cycling . Nice to be on the coast too.
Rimini is a bustling city but past it on Ballaria a pleasant town with trees pizzerias, even South American flute playing .
It was hot so stopped for a helado and coke . Haven't had much ice cream here . Again stopped on the return leg , helped mother and daughter who fell from bike. Finally arriving back at base at 1530. All other cyclists have returned but by room key opens the cycle store .
Lunch was finished and the temperature was up to 24 degrees. It's the sunniest day so far .
So packed my black bag ( even this seems to have worked out well ) , two orange towels from the hotel .
The Hotel Dory has made everything quite easy and simple that it takes the stress out of the holiday . I have spent virtually nothing in five days I spent here . I thought 30€ was expensive for bike hire but today I saw bikes advertised for 12€ an hour.
- lunch around 1400 after bike ride
- breakfast is plentiful, bacon scrambled eggs, fruit , yoghurt etc .
- pre dinner snacks , piadina, little pastries etc .
So as it was sunny , went to the beach and paid 5€ for a beach bench . Met greg and mary from Tullamore. Nice day .
During the day ,
- arranged person to do electrical test next Tuesday
- jeremy to collect the washing machine
- established that dressers are wanted by buyers
- they don't want wardrobe and dining tables
- searched for gas boiler service man
- booked zz convention train ticket and connected with Dave Berry and Josie
Something strange happened at the end of dinner . Ian decided to get up and say he has to go and have a walk with John . John says he can only sit for so long . Jane then says she needs to go and I'm alone with Cathy . Cathy wants somebody to come and visit her husband with broken hip .
As she past me Jane brushed my arm- was this as an apology with the exodus. Strange.
Ah well .
What should I do tomorrow
- go on my own like today. Today was good and also it's June 2nd to celebrate .
- Dolce Vita, greg and mary Tullamore going on this short 50km trip .
- nobody going on capuchino probably because guide does not speak English .
- about 10 going on cappuccino. 80km and only 750 m elevation do it's doable.
- but be nice to visit the beach again .
Listening to Scotland 0 v Ukraine 2 so Wales looks like playing Ukraine on Sunday
