8/12/24
Every time we had take a day off cycling to rest we’d been taking the opportunity to see a city, apart from Obersays. That was the place in Switzerland where we walked our bikes up a 20% hill for miles and had to take an extra day off to recover!
We had planned to do absolutely nothing. Well, very little vertical movement anyhow. We’d bought plenty of food the day before so we didn’t have to leave the house. We had pancakes for breakfast, with plenty of fruit which we had got cheap as it was reduced in the supermarket.
It was raining in the morning. We felt reprieved for having a day off. We spent the day watching films, for some reason James Bond with Daniel Craig. We tried to watch Piece by Piece about Pharrell Williams but it was too narcissistic for us. A shame because Lego films should always be good. Later on it hailed, it loudly smacked the ground outside and we felt even more relieved we weren’t cycling.
We had fried chopped kale for a lunchtime snack and then an early dinner of pizza. It was fortunate in some ways that we’d stopped here two nights as it was that time of the month again for Frankie. Unfortunate, because it’s not really a restful experience for her.
We went to bed early, but it was hanging in our minds that we needed to press on again in the morning. The day went far too quickly!
Surly They Won't Make It
