Without the alarm going off this morning I think I’d still be asleep. I tried to be organised after the opera last night, leaving most of my panniers etc ready by the side door to load up and ship out, which meant that this morning I just packed a few things, made coffee, ate some […]
As some of you already know, and others may have already guessed or suspected, I’ve been thinking hard about possibly changing my destination for this adventure for some days. I’ve worked hard to get around the (mainly) weather issues that have had such a bearing on this trip, and which have been in excess of […]
Thank you so much to everyone who got in touch after my brush with Savannah Vice yesterday. I’m really grateful for all the kind words of support and care. You get used to doing everything on your own after a while on a long bike tour, and to know that people are rooting for you […]
(I’ll update the map tomorrow) I started in Yemassee, I ended up at a beautiful B&B in Savanna, but inbetween there were some absolutely insane events that caused a great deal of disruption to my day, but luckily ended happily. Let me start at the beginning… All day yesterday, whenever I opened the door to […]
And it was just that, a free day at a motel in Yemassee. I did almost nothing except wander over to the lobby for breakfast, then sit with my coffee in the lobby talking to the manager about classical Indian music and swapping favourite musicians. You never know when you’re going to find an interesting […]
(Most of the roads I took today aren’t even on this map. The railway is, leading to Yemassee) Despite being long overdue a rest day (it should have been on Saturday and it’s now Monday!), I decided to put it off for just one more day. I was still feeling physically up for another ride, […]
Last night I mentioned that I did get to see the river that runs beside the campground, and it was mesmerising in the late evening sun. I sat for ages just soaking it all in, knowing that BullsBay and the Atlantic Ocean were just the other side of the reeds in the distance. I was […]
An evening hue to the map tonight as it’s later than usual (Again, apologies for not getting to comments at the moment. My ‘downtime’ has been so sociable and the cycling days so long that it’s been using up all of my ‘comments’ time! I do read them and I’ll get to them soon x) […]
My bicycle was expertly guarded during the night from all of the rogue wildlife looking for a bike to chew on by Sally’s two lovely cats. They may not have been awake for most of the time, but they were there in spirit. A LITTLE HISTORY: Sally really was the most wonderful company, and even […]
I woke up to find that the City Cafe had posted a photo of my visit yesterday on their Facebook page, plus a couple of shots of my card to encourage donations – many thanks for the support ladies! I thought I’d post another of my mum’s poems today. Her book is keeping me company […]
