Topping up our energy reserves before the craziness of the upcoming move. Trying my hardest not to do life admin or make any lists. Maybe I’ll order a wine instead.

Oh.
Oh. no.
We said in unison, as we looked up at our 1950's faux art deco hotel.
Not because we're snobs - we have stayed in much worse places. But because we invested emotionally in having a luxurious break after cycling 265 km in 5 days.
And a

Cloud cover prayers answered for our last 65km. Beautiful, angry skies over the coast, the wind, resisting our bikes as we approached.
