Hello again!
Yesterday we took the bikes down along the beach front. Sounds simple enough however.... these bikes were 'beach cruisers' which are not like ordinary bikes! the breaks on the handle bars dont exist - you break by peadling backwards... which also means you cant spin the pedals round to get a good push off. it was soooo funny, poor Gilly - i was a nightmare, just couldnt quite get the hang of it, i didnt trust myself to be able to stop! ah it was loads of fun, when we eventually made it down to the beachfront we 'cruised' along quite a way, past lots of gorgeous beachfront houses, a school that had its playground on the beach - how cool - the two piers and stopped for lunch at a cool little mexican bar/restaurant where we got chatting to the manager (Gilly wants a job there) and ended up getting two free shots with our rather large margaritas! feeling a little braver by this time, i got back on the bike and we rode home
Today i've been on my own - Gilly has had school, dentist and work - so i went to the beach and embarrassingly fell asleep after watching surfers trying to catch some waves... i had tested the water yesterday and there was NO WAY i was getting in that water without a super warm wetsuit!! woke up and wandered down to a little cafe where we had gotten a smoothie the day before, then had another look in the little surf shops, managing to resist spending any money! i also took a walk to the end of the pier where there were loads of people fishing, and successfully catching some decent sized herring from the looks of it!
tomorrow we are off to sea world :) should be good fun!xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
