Yesterday we went for a bike ride into Reykavik along the ocean. The water was really pretty as the sun was shining again. When we got to Reykavik we went to a cafe for a hot chocolate and crepe to put all the calories on again! We then carried on with our bike ride to get home for lunch. We lost our way a bit and ended up doing a loop and got back to the same place. We then continued on the right path back home but we were battling against the wind the whole way which meant we were a lot slower and it was a lot harder too. We finally got back at 5pm and we had still had no lunch so when we got in we had a massive dunch (lunch/dinner) and then some fresh pasta later.
Half way through the ride when we stopped there was some glass by my bike. It punctured my back tyre. I cycled on for about half of the way back not realising and got complained at for being very slow. Dad heroically (Dad wanted this word to be put in) pushed me all the way home for about 3 miles. Neve had a really awful bike and Mum heroically (Mum wanted this word put in) swapped so Neve could have the better one.
We were VERY tired so that is why we didn't write the blog yesterday. Lots of love Neve and Euan xxxx
Another good day. I enjoyed it too. Hope you enjoyed mine and Neve's blog. Love Euan :)xxxx
P.S. When we were in the cafe there was a table where you could put a note under a glass covering. We didn't have a pen so mum looked in her pocket and we found Nanny's shopping list so we put that in there instead!!!
Sounds like another hectic day for the Walshes! Can't believe you went all that time without food - what you needed was a "nanny snack" in your pocket! Enjoyed your account of the day's activities (complete with M & D's additional word/s!) and the photos. You could have drawn a cat under my shopping list and then they would know it had belonged to me! Hope problems with bikes are now sorted. Uncle Richard had a puncture at Center Parcs - speedily repaired with a new inner tube!
ReplyDeleteI've been walking with my friends today - lovely walk and managed to dodge the showers. Afterwards we had a Pensioners Lunch for £6 in a pub - being an oldie has it's advantages! Grandad went to the dentist in the morning, opticians to have his eyes tested in the afternoon and when he got back put the rubbish out. Think I had the better day! If I've got the dates right you will be returning home tomorrow, so expect the above was your final posting. Thank you both so much - I've enjoyed being there with you! Have a good journey. Lots of love N & G xxxx
