Today was an awesome day apart from being bitten by a wasp and almost breaking my arm.

I woke up really groggy in our hotel this morning when Mike’s alarm went off, but after 3 coffees I almost felt normal.

We decided to pick up the lf13b cycle route again to save mucking around trying to navigate to the coast, but we spent ages trying to get out of Breda. Eventually we found the route and it was stress free travel.

We cycled through a lot of forests today and it was really pleasant. We also had an wicked tail wind and we sped along at about 25 kms/hr for a lot of the day. The cyclists going the other way looked really grumpy though.

We stopped in the forest for lunch when a poxy wasp stung me on the leg. It hurt like mother crockery! So I put some antihistamine cream on and hoped for the best. The last time I was stung by a wasp I had to have antibiotics.

The other mishap, I was had stopped for a drink of water and dropped my cap on the ground. As I bent down to get it my bike tried to fall and my arm got caught between the wheel and the frame. Thankfully I managed to stop the bike falling as it probably would have broken my arm if it did with all the weight on it. I’ll probably have a nice bruise tomorrow.

At 4.30pm we’d done 65 kms and there was a campsite nearby, but we were loving the tail wind so much we decided to ride another 25 kms to the next campground. We rang them first to make sure they had space. We’re not going through that again!

After about 10 kms of riding we arrived at a massive inlet that smelled of sea and we cycled along that all the way to the campground. We saw a couple of seals so that was neat.

We arrived at camp after 90 kms for the day. We didn’t have any food to cook so we went to the bar for ‘bar snacks’ which were deep fried thingys and quite delicious. Still hungry though.

Tomorrow we catch a ferry.
