A mainly sunny but cool morning was perfect for our planned cycling around the island and after a good breakfast we walked the mile or so to Hugh Town and the cycle hire shop.
After much discussion and consultation about hills around the island, the LLW determined that e-bikes were the order of the day!
We had to wait a while before we cycled off as the Otillo race began at 10:00. Today's race is just under 40km and involves 4 islands with 8 swims, one of which is 2.6km, and the winning time is forecast to be about 4 hours. As you can well imagine I had to restrain the LLW from submitting a late entry.

The views round the island were stunning and we pretty much completed the full tour. However, the LLW was very organised and had her priorities sorted so the first stop was the Strudel Cafe. This establishment has two locations, one in Hugh Town and the other up country which is where we stopped. Run be a German lady, the most amazing apple strudels were delivered and quickly dispatched!
