Some cloud cover today but mostly sunny and rising to 26C. There had been talk of an early cycle ride but the LLW put her foot down and refused to resume a vertical position until nearly 09:00.
However after a very leisurely breakfast said cycle ride did take place and excellent it was too. The regatta crowds of yesterday had dispersed but it certainly was not quiet.
After yesterdays menace of motorised scooters, today it was the turn of American tourists who had clearly never heard of cycle lanes.
San Sebastian is really lovely and whilst a very successful resort manages to retain an olde worlde charm. On the return journey Ray managed a swim at Ondarreta beach, the water being very warm and the sea almost deserted, as most seemed content to burn themselves on the lovely golden sand beach.
The hill back to our hotel was conquered by Ray on this occasion but the heart probably beat at its highest rate for some time!
After a short rest it was back on to our number 16 bus and down again to the old town where we enjoyed a very good seafood supper. The LLW was too tired even for another ice cream and voted for a fairly early return to out hotel.
Tomorrow we cross the border into France and on to Arcachon where there is the promise of even more seafood delights and yes more cycling.
