Wednesday 12th September
We had to get bikes from the pickup area and walk or ride
them to the ferry which was at the end of the wharf. Carl & Coleen are not with us today as
he had to visit the dentist during the day.
We had a good ride over to the island and once we were there
our bikes came off the ferry and off we went.
We had to get a map from the visitor centre so we could work out where
to ride first. Riding was not easy
especially when you have not done it since a young girl. Our kids will be proud of us as we spent a
good part of the morning on them before stopping off at the bakery for a well
earned cup of tea & coffee. The boys
went for another ride and left us to look around the few shops that were there.
We had a quick lunch at subway before we purchased a ticket
for the hop on hop off bus around the island.
Pete & little Ian decided they had not had enough of the bikes and
went all the way around the island (crazy).
Our ride on the bus was good we alighted at the lighthouse which was a
walk up a very steep hill and when we arrived there the volunteer must of felt
sorry for us and we managed to pay half price for the tour of the lighthouse we
told him we were one big family.
Now back on the bus
and heading back to collect the bikes ready to get back on the ferry home. It is now 5:00pm and back at Hillary’s boat
harbour and the bikes back to where they came from, and back to the park for no
dinner as everyone was very tired and wanted to go to bed after a big day of a
lot of exercise and fresh air.
Stan received the shackle to night for losing his gate
number.
