Saturday, it seems like more weekend hikers hit the trails. It would be okay, but so do biking clubs/groups. The trek today was very picturesque but we had to be alert and avoid collisions with bikers, who amazingly were travelling at very high speeds. The trek covered mainly forest trails over two hills, hence we were under shade the majority of the day. We made a morning stop at a cafe as did a group of bikers, and I had an unfortunate accident with everyone watching. We sat on the patio and one of the chair legs of the chair I sat on was on top of a mat, and underneath was a hole. Well the chair tilted and there I was laying on my side in total shock not knowing what happened. Some people thought I broke the chair.
The temperature reached 30c, which is not bad under shade, but exhausting in the bright afternoon sun. Julie was exhausted as we made our way through town to find our hotel, which turned out to a great location -central, close to historic sights and many cafes and restaurants. A great place to stop and spend an extra day! We visited museums, churches, ate pastries and sipped wine. What a great day!
