It was forecast heavy rain today, so we planned to stay near the hotel and just potter about. First we went to a nearby retail park; I bought some sandals (cycling shoes), Lyns bought a t-shirt because the hot springs ones didn’t fit properly.
We had a drive out to a town called New Castle for obvious reasons, went to a petrol gas station to fill up the car. ($13, £9 was enough for over 200 miles of driving, about 1/3 of the cost at home for petrol, crazy. It’s also gone up in price here recently too.)
Back at the hotel we did more washing so we didn’t have to rinse underwear in the sink, had tea at a local American Diner (a drive away) and spent some time in the Spa at the hotel.
Didn’t recognise Mike in the waterproofs. Nice sandals too, good for cycling and walking.
You deserve some relaxation after all that cycling. What a difference a day or so makes to the weather. Apparently, we’re in for a heatwave here soon. Just in time for when you arrive back home. Three months of it, that will certainly suit you two.
