We had a comfortable nights stay in Hastings. The breakfast was spot on. They had muesli, and they cooked the breakfast to order. Much better than the buckets of stodge at the cheap hotel in Folkestone.

We decided that we didn’t want to cycle back to Poole in the terrible head wind. As well as that – we are both starting to fall apart. I adjusted my riding position to ease the chafing, now I am suffering from bad shoulder pain. So today we caught a series of trains back to Poole.

So that’s it – bike trip over.

On Sunday we are venturing on a mini-tiki tour of England, then 10 days in America on our way home, so I’ll keep the blog going for anyone who is reading it.
